At CES we..."sock" it to drugs! #CES #RedRibbonWeek

Ms. Rush's 7th grade students participated in a SOLE (Self Organized Learning Environment) research activity today. The question students were researching an answer to was “Should schools start earlier or later?" Students were using their skills of communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and ability to research to back their claims and reasoning. #CMS #4Cs #DigitalLearning

PreK has two new members in the "I can count to 100 club"! We are super proud of these guys!

CES is "red"-y to say NO to drugs! #CES #redribbonweek

ECCSS and Evans County kicked off Red Ribbon Week (RRW)this morning with a special ceremony at the Senior Citizens Park in Claxton. Designated students from each school participated in the ceremony: CES sent students who won their RRW coloring contest, and CMS and CHS sent students who were nominated based on character traits. CES School Resource Officer, Rhiannon Cason, and Lieutenant James Waters, Claxton Police Department, opened the ceremony by welcoming everyone. Mayor Terry Branch shared a Red Ribbon Week proclamation. Dr. Marty Waters, Dr. Bobby Costlow, Dr. Paul Mizell, Lieutenant Waters, and Mayor Branch turned the fountain red in honor of Red Ribbon Week. CHS Ambassadors, Aaron Harrison, Valeria Hernandez, Aashi Patel, and Tyrone Atkinson served as student speakers and shared about the history of Red Ribbon Week, the effects of drug use on families and the human body, and closed with a call to action for everyone to choose life drug-free. Tomorrow, everyone is invited to "Sock it to drugs!" and wear mismatched socks.

PreK's Annual Scarecrow Day! #CES

Sixty percent of all workplace errors are a result of poor listening, and nearly half of all employees who resign from a job report leaving because they did not feel heard. To help our students improve their listening skills, teachers in the CTAE department taught a common lesson that reviewed SLANT, a mnemonic providing reminders for how to make a conscious effort to hear the speaker's words and, more importantly, complete message. SLANT stands for Sit up, Lean in, Ask questions, Nod, and Track your speaker. In the first picture, Mrs. LaKeisha Welch's students did not use SLANT when completing the listening activity. In the second picture, SLANT was used. The results speak for themselves. When we actively listen, our communication with others improves. #TheDen #realworld

CMS has special events planned for our home basketball games this season! We want to pay special recognition, honor, and treat lots of folks who are our #1 Tiger basketball fans!

Students in Mr. Sapp’s STEM class are having fun learning about energy forms and transitions by building roller coasters. STEM 1 students constructed a roller coaster out of tissue rolls and tested their coaster with a marble. STEM 2 students built a coaster that uses a chain to haul the cart up a hill, changing from potential energy to kinetic energy as the cart goes down and around the track. STEM 2 students also learned about energy forms and transitions with a roller coaster simulation on the Oculus virtual reality headset. #projectbasedlearning #4Cs
