7th graders in Mrs. Brown's science classes have been studying genetics. To practice what they've learned, they had to follow a strict set of directions to draw a "baby." Students had a great time, and they learned how genes are passed from parents to children. #cmstigers #4Cs #projectbasedlearning

6th graders in Mr. Carruth's social studies classes had fun reviewing for their upcoming test! They played kickball. Any student who got out was allowed to answer a review question to stay in the game. #cmstigers

CMS 6th graders recently visited JA BizTown at the Georgia Southern University Savannah Campus. JA BizTown combines in-class learning (before the field trip) with a day-long visit to a simulated town. This popular learning experience allows students to operate banks, manage restaurants, write checks, and vote for mayor. Students are able to make connections between what they learn in school and the real world. #cmstigers #projectbasedlearning #4Cs
