Cornwall News

Hello Cornwall School families,

We had a beautiful day for Harvest Fest last Friday! Thank you to all of the parents and FOCS who helped make that happen! And please see some pictures from the afternoon below.

Also below you will find some information about community events, after school activities, some school updates and a request for recipes.

Have a great weekend,

Heather

We are making another CORNWALL COMMUNITY COOKBOOK!

Our goal is for all Cornwall students, teachers and staff to contribute their favorite recipe.

Please follow this link https://forms.gle/VMz8N6QK5C69drKB9 to submit your recipe(s).

The deadline for submission is Oct. 27. Please send your recipes to us!

The fourth and fifth graders have completed their identity books. The books highlight important people, places, experiences and ideas in the students' lives.

This week, 4-Winds instructors led a lesson on rotting logs. We were able to dig into some logs in and out of the classroom to look closely at what was inside.

The Golden Dome books were released this week at the Cornwall School Library. Many students have set personal reading goals and are hoping to read at least five.

This week we have begun a research project on European explorers. Pairs of students are looking closely at their chosen explorer and will present their research to the class.

The clock model has been the tool this week to better understand fractions. Next week, we will use money as a model, allowing us to consider fractions with a different set of denominators.

Conferences will be held through November 17, with many teachers scheduling on November 3, a day allocated for that purpose..

The goal of these conferences is to talk about how your student is doing in classes so far this school year and to talk about next steps in their learning. Please check in with the teacher or with me if you have any questions.

The CVFD Open House scheduled for Sunday, Oct 22 has been cancelled due to weather!

Mrs. Cunningham will be offering a new chorus option after school on Wednesdays. In Pop Choir students will be able to work with Mrs. Cunningham to sing songs selected from today's popular music and develop their singing skills. The Pop Choir will be performing in our Winter Concert with possibility for more performing opportunities. Pop Choir is available for 3rd through 5th grade on Wednesday afternoons. Come join in the fun!
