The 7 Mindsets focus this week is EMBRACE CREATIVITY. At CMS, we want our students to see things differently, so that they can do things differently, so that they can one day make a difference. We want our tigers to SOAR like eagles above adversity.

Our 6th grade students had a blast with the airplane challenge in Mrs. Myers’ class last week! The hands-on activity allowed them to learn about distance, time, and calculating speed in a fun way.
Students worked in teams to build paper airplanes, and then they tested how far their plane could fly. They measured the distance traveled and timed how long the flight took. Using this data, students practiced calculating the speed of their airplane.
The airplane challenge provided an engaging way for students to explore key math and science concepts. More importantly, they gained valuable experience collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data from the real world. We're so proud of how hard our students worked on this STEM activity. They showed creativity, teamwork, and perseverance while having fun.

Each group in Mr. Croft's firefighting class was tasked with collecting items to start a small fire. This technique teaches the idea that you should start with items with more air to mass ratios like paper or straw and then add more dense items as the fire grows. This also teaches students how orientation of items burn differently. For instance, because of preheating, a vertical stack will burn faster than a horizontal stack. #TheDEN #RealWorld
Students in Mrs. Watkins' Algebra 1 classes gathered data and created displays using Histograms, Box Plots, and Dot Plots. Each class critiqued the representations of their peers.

During a recent training, Kindergarten through 2nd Grade teachers were equipped with the skills to provide impactful instruction in critical areas such as reading, writing, phonemic awareness, and phonics. This allows students to immediately transfer these foundational skills to reading and writing, reinforcing learning in whole and small groups. Teachers learned new ways to incorporate multisensory activities, which will enhance the learning experience for students.

JUST A REMINDER...ALL REACH SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS ARE DUE TO MRS. RUSHING NEXT MONDAY, AUGUST 28TH!

To be eligible, students need to complete and submit the application by August 28th. This is an excellent opportunity for students to get financial assistance for college costs. Please do not wait until the last minute to begin this, as the application has several parts and takes a while to complete. Every 8th grade student should take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. Please contact Ms. Katrina Rushing (krushing@evanscountyschools.org) for more info!
We can't wait to find out who the REACH Scholars for the Class of 2028 will be!
Coach McLean's health classes worked in a group to develop a fictional character called "Magazine Man".
The groups collaborated together to give their person a life and specifically focused on the health of their character. Students focused on life expectancy and quality of life and what factors affect both of them. The students had to pick three positive and three negative factors and put them on a folder board to represent what type of life the "magazine man" might have.
This activity allowed our students to use the 4 Cs: communication, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. Using the 4 Cs means students are better prepared for college, career, and community!
We would like to thank the Evans County Public Library for sharing magazines with us to reuse for this learning!

Ms. Cowart, Ms. Thigpen, and Ms. Hendrix's pre-k classes learned about friendship this past week. Just like our 7 Mindsets curriculum teaches us, "We are all connected!" Our pre-k classes discussed how to be a good friend to each other.
At the end of the week, students enjoyed a mixture of all their favorite snacks to create a “Friendship Snack!”

Students in Ms. Adams’s 8th grade English Language Arts classes are reading a graphic novel, annotating the novel, and writing objective summaries about the novel. Students enjoy collaborating with their PAL (Peer Assisted Learning) to get their assignments completed! We want our students to be able to work well with others while completing tasks and assignments. Here at CMS, it's not just about what you learn...it's how you learn it!
