Hello CCE Families,

We hope our students and families had a great last week of school for the 2024 school year. Thank you to all our volunteers for your help with organizing the Winter Parties. We saw lots of smiles on Thursday! We hope that each of you have a wonderful holiday full of family, friends and celebrations. We will see you back at CCE on Tuesday, January 7th.

A big thank you to our CCE PTA and all our families that donated cookies. Every staff member was able to start their holiday break with a wonderful sweet treat! Thank you!

Have a great winter break!

HOUR OF CODE WEEKS CONTINUES!

Dec 9-13 is the official annual national Hour of Code. The "Hour of Code" is a global initiative aimed at introducing people of all ages to the basics of computer programming through a single, one-hour coding activity, designed to show that anyone can learn to code and spark interest in computer science, typically taking place during Computer Science Education Week each year; it's a fun and accessible way to demystify coding and encourage participation in the field.

Although there are a multitude of amazing websites out there to explore, students at CCES get to join Mrs. Connair in the "Creation Cave" for hands on coding robots! The remaining 2nd-5th grade classes got to get the code on this week! 2nd and 3rd graders got to color snowmen or a house with someone that would love to visit in the holidays and use colors to code their Sphero Indi to make their way through the winter wonderful! 5th graders STEAM'ed it out and colored a a variety of winter images and the had their Sphero Bolt drive their pathway with the challenge of not letting their snoman fall off of their sleigh!

What a great Dec of Code had by all!
