Mrs. Cowart, Ms. Miyon and Mrs. Penny's class worked on fine motor skills and enjoyed a delicious Christmas cookie. Students had to spread their icing with a spoon and then they were allowed to pick Elf sparkles, Christmas magic dust or Rudolph's red sugar, to make it sparkle. #CES #ExcellenceLeadershipFamily
CES principal, Mrs. Julie Howard, shared Christmas Around CES during the ECCSS Board of Education (BOE) work session last week.

Mrs. Yurek's eighth-grade students worked in groups to perform a "Character Autopsy" of characters from the novel, A Long Walk to Water. Students made character evaluations based on their different abilities as they related to certain parts of the body. For example, for the "brain," one student reflected on the difficulty the character experienced due to his worrying thoughts about his family. #activelearning #creativity
Mrs. Liberatore's class got to visit Ms. McElveen's room for some Christmas cookie baking. The students had a great time and learned the secret to a great Christmas cookie. #activelearning
Claxton Elementary School recently sponsored a canned food drive to benefit the Evans County Food Bank. This service project aligned with the current mindset, "Live to Give". Students and staff donated to the cause and over 350 items were collected!
Grade levels competed against one another to encourage the donation efforts. The following homeroom classes were recognized as collecting the most items in the grade level. They were rewarded with a extra-special recess. Kindergarten - Ms. Hendrix
1st - Mrs. Whitfield
2nd - Mrs. Hollingsworth
3rd - Mrs. Laird
4th - Ms. Mikell
5th - Mrs. LaSala
Mrs. Cowart's PreK class was the school-wide winner! They donated the most items overall.
In the spirit of giving, CES hopes that our donations will make a difference for others in our community.

Ms. Ikner's 6th grade ELA students participated in a student-led discussion based on the Harkness method. Each student posed a question and an answer in the discussion as it related to the three texts that were read. Students discussed the topics that presented in each of the articles and attempted to find the connection in them. #activelearning #studentleddiscussion

Festival of Lights Day at CMS...
On 12/8, Mr. Gay's High School High Tech students took a tour of the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) campus. Our students were able to tour many of the classrooms because the SCAD was already on Winter Break. The most exciting part of the tour was the interactive SCAD Story that showcased many of the talents of past students. The students were surprised to see that college doesn't always just consist of book work. Students saw that many careers require more hands-on training as opposed to the traditional learning experiences.
