Regular Board Meeting
Monday, March 14, 2022 6:00pm
Agenda
Mrs. Keyfauver demonstrated to a fifth grade class and teacher how to use Makey Makey to build a circuit that would test items to identify conductors and insulators. Makey Makey uses a circuit board, alligator clips, a USB cable, a Chromebook, and coded project to create closed loop electrical signals to send the computer either a keyboard stroke or mouse click signal.
Mrs. Keyfauver encouraged curiosity and exploration by having students test conductivity of objects at their table or things they had with them. They constructed a t-chart of conductors and insulators.
Once finished, Mrs. Keyfauver challenged students to create a piano with the objects that they identified as conductors. She invited groups to try out the piano that she created out of fruits.
Design thinking relies on our ability to be intuitive, to recognize patterns, and to construct ideas that have functionality. This lesson combined tactile materials of the classroom with coding projects on the computer to bring creations to life. Students had to be creative, collaborate, critically think, and communicate. All skills that our community and industry partners desire their employees to have.
Ms. Beasley's kindergarten STEM class is all smiles showing off their future house built with legos.

Claxton Elementary school decided to take on a community service project in connection with our 7 Mindsets lessons. Our students believe in Leading with Value because "We are Connected." One of our 7 Mindsets quotes states, "Those who are the happiest are those who do the most for others." The students truly enjoyed contributing to the cause knowing that each can would help feed a family in need! Way to go 4th grade for contributing the most with 475 goods!
Students in Mrs. Kirby’s class are practicing measurement with cubes and pasta!
Ms. Miller's class is busy becoming master bakers this week. They are in the process of baking cupcakes. They have learned about the different kitchen tools needed and how to measure and mix ingredients. Tomorrow, they will bake and decorate the cupcakes followed by the last and final step; tasting their yummy creations!
Fifth grade teachers are the recipients of a $25, 000 Rural Education Innovation Grant for STEM and STEAM. Over the next few months, they will receive professional learning from Georgia Southern University faculty and complete externships at the Wildlife Center, Botanic Garden, Herpetology Collection, Herbarium, and Museum. Through their work with faculty at GSU, they will create a STEM unit as a grade level to implement next school year. On Friday, Biology professors Dr. Lissa Leege and Dr. Michelle Cawthorn provided training. Teachers grew in their understanding of the differences between plant and animal cells. After analyzing demos at stations, they explored the campus to find examples of the different plant groups that Dr. Leege presented. They were able to take an up close look at fern and moss spores as they learned about plant diversity.
Dr. Cawthorn brought a collection of vertebrate skulls for teachers to identify after an in-depth lesson about how vertebrates are classified.
Congratulations to our Claxton Middle School House Leaders! These students were chosen for their good behavior and leadership skills. We are proud of you, and we expect great things!
