1st grade
First grade has finished learning about the human body and is switching to learning about fairytales! We are learning about responsibility and continuing to learn how to read and do subtraction!
3rd grade
The big news in 3rd grade is we are departmentalizing on September 30th! In Ms. Curl's math class, students will continue to work on rounding, simplifying strategies, and addition/subtraction. Mrs. Cowan's reading class will start our unit on the human body including senses and different systems.
7th grade
Science: Students created models of plate boundaries using cookies and frosting. They explored the effects on the mantle (represented by frosting) when the plates (cookies) collide and spread apart. (I apologize for not taking pictures!)
Forensic Science: Students examined trace evidence under the microscope. They compared human hairs, animal hairs, and various fibers such as cotton, satin, and nylon, focusing on their microscopic structures.
Special education
In Ms. Smith's classroom, students were working towards their writing goals. Everyone was focused and engaged in their writing task working towards mastery.
CLDE
Our CLDE team has been busy gathering books, resources, and various products to create “Bright Beginning” bags for all newcomer CLDE families to help them navigate the district, the town, and the English language. These bags will be given to all families who have been in our country for less than a year, in the hopes they feel supported and valued in our community. There will also be a punch card included to mark attendance as a way to earn incentives for attending our school events.
Congratulations to our students who won student of the month. Keep up the Ramtastic work!
