There is more to making a stool or birdhouse than you may think! Precise measurements, straight cuts, square corners, and just right screw holes all make a difference in the appearance and function.
Construction students are pursuing one of these projects under the guidance of their instructor, Mr. Hall. When finished, the students will use the rubric to self-assess their work. Student assessments will then be compared to Mr. Hall's evaluation of their work.

Our 7 Mindsets focus this week is on gratitude. In memory of Mrs. Julie Sikes, we are asking our students to continue her legacy of leaving sweet notes for people. She always saw the good in people and was an encourager to all who knew her. CMS and CHS students will be writing thank you notes to people that matter to them in an effort to the see the good in other people and continue sharing Mrs. Sikes's attitude of gratitude.
Wear your house colors tomorrow!

Mrs. Shaul’s 3rd graders have been thinking critically about fractions this week! After making fraction strips, they had some great observations about the sizes of each unit fraction. Then, students collaborated to place fractions on a number line. They had very meaningful conversations with each other as they attempted to place the fractions in the correct order. #CES #ExcellenceLeadershipFamily

6th grade students in Ms. Adams's career classes are learning which careers might be a good fit for them. Using the YouScience curriculum, students simply participate in a series of brain games to discover their aptitudes and interests, and the program matches them to careers that are best suited for them. By exposing our students to this curriculum at a young age, it allows them to zero in on possible career choices and choose classes that will best prepare them for these careers.
