She has also co-authored the Literacy Footprints Guided Reading System with Michele Dufresne (also pictured).

Ms. Fallin and Mrs. Fennell’s class have been learning about standard RI 5, various text features in nonfiction texts. Students selected a nonfiction text and completed an activity on their chromebooks. They took pictures of the table of contents, headings, and the glossary and discussed why we use these text features. #CES #ExcellenceLeadershipFamily

ECCSS Regular Board Meeting Monday, February 6, 2023 6:00pm BOE Board Room

Can you communicate with others without speaking? Students in Mrs. Smith's 7th grade career class are learning how to do just that. The students played a game in which they were divided into groups (note the colored dots on their heads). One person from each group had to leave the room while the others chose an object that they wanted the one student to identify. The student who was sent out had to identify the object, but the only help they received was applause (quiet or loud, depending on how close they got to the object). The students had a great time, and it forced them to communicate without talking, all while depending on their team to help them out. #4Cs

Mrs. Mathis's class used technology to become an apprentice for the Mini-Garden Company. Through this apprenticeship they were able to use their knowledge of area and perimeter to help design gardens for the new Mini-Garden Magazine. This experience showed students how area and perimeter can be used in the real world. #CES #ExcellenceLeadershipFamily

ECCSS Board of Education Work Session Thursday, February 2, 2023 6:00pm BOE Board Room

7th grade students in Mrs. Sapp's math class explored how a radius, diameter, and circumference are connected with hands-on experience of drawing circles. Students then took everyday items, measured the diameter and solved for the radius and circumference. They then checked their work by using string to measure the distance around the circle. #ProjectBasedLearning #4Cs
