🚀🔬🎈 Our 6th-grade students are reaching new heights with their creativity and problem-solving skills! 💡🤝📚
Our 6th graders in Mrs. Myers's class recently embarked on an exciting journey using the engineering design process to create balloon rockets 🚀✨. Armed with only provided supplies, they were tasked with crafting rockets that could zip along a vertical track to help students learn about force and motion! 🎈🔝
Here's how this hands-on experience is shaping their education:
1️⃣ Force and Motion: Through trial and error, our students are grasping the principles of force and motion. They're witnessing firsthand how different variables affect their rocket's speed and direction! 📏⏱️
2️⃣ Collaboration: Teamwork makes the dream work! 💪 Our young scientists are learning the value of working together, sharing ideas, and compromising to achieve their rocketry goals. 🙌🤝
3️⃣ Critical Thinking: Balloon rockets are all about precision and calculation. Our students are developing critical thinking skills as they analyze and adjust their designs for optimal performance. 🤔📊
4️⃣ Communication: Effective communication is key to any successful project. These budding engineers are honing their abilities to explain their ideas, ask questions, and offer feedback to improve their rockets. 🗣️📢
5️⃣ Creativity: The sky's the limit when it comes to creativity! 🌌 Our students are given the freedom to explore imaginative solutions, encouraging them to think outside the box! 🎨🌟
We're incredibly proud of our 6th graders as they combine science and engineering concepts with practical skills in this exciting project. 🌠👏 #RoarandSoar #4Cs #LearningByDoing

Mrs. Holland's and Ms. Gordon’s classes have been working on an Environmental Science Careers Project. Students got together and did peer reviews. They looked over each other’s projects and made suggestions to help each other out. #CriticalThinking #Collaboration #Communication
6th grade students in Mrs. Sefers's math classes have been learning about volume in cubes. What better way to understand the volume of cube than by building your own cube?

CMS students who had good behavior, no missing assignments, and had missed no days during the month of September were rewarded with popcorn and a movie on Friday, September 29th for the monthly BAM celebration. Students watched "Remember the Titans," a powerful true story about overcoming adversity and coming together as a team, regardless of background and interests. This supports what we teach our students during Tiger Pride on Mondays. Congratulations, students. Keep up the good work! #RoarANDSoar
