Students in Mrs. Lane's Introduction to Business class applied their knowledge on basic economics in an Escape Room activity. Two teams competed to "escape" first.
Claxton High School chemistry students in Mr. Hodgson's class have been discussing different types of solutions. In lab, students worked together to compare unsaturated, saturated, and supersaturated solutions by dissolving Sodium Thiosulfate in water. Students began by shaking Sodium Thiosulfate crystals in a test tube until no more could be dissolved making a saturated solution. Students then added more crystals and heated up the solution. Destiny Mendoza explained that "using heat dissolves the extra crystals, because water particles move faster". This creates a supersaturated solution. From the supersaturated solution, students were able to create their own crystals by adding a piece of string and a seed crystal. The addition of the seed crystal causes recrystallization of the Sodium Thiosulfate that has been dissolved due to the supersaturated solution. Students were actively engaged in this lab as they collaborated with partners, critically thought about their responses to reflection questions, and communicated their thought processes.
Just a reminder...CMS picture day is Tuesday, October 18th!

CES sent a group of teachers and support staff to the Ron Clark Academy (RCA) Experience this week! This professional learning experience is designed to help participants learn skills and teaching strategies that can "ignite a passion for learning, provide meaningful support, encourage academic excellence, foster authentic relationships, and ensure a climate and culture where all students and staff thrive." All of these goals of the RCA Experience are connected deeply to CES's School Improvement Plan (SIP).
Our CES attendees, Tasha Grantham, Jill Brown, Shannon Weekley, Jennifer Lewis, Taylor Miller, and Kandace Eason, are on FIRE with excitement and ready to share all they learned at RCA w/ our CES students and staff!

Humans in The Den
“We came in early that morning. We prepared a lot of food. I was helping to make sure everything got out there properly. We made sure that we had enough for everybody. When the food was eaten, we replaced it. I was plating quiches on the serving tray. After everyone left, we cleared off the tables, and we took everything back to the Culinary Arts room.”
Senior chef in training, Tybresha Williams, helped prepare food and serve the community at the Athletic Hall of Fame Ceremony held in September. The following week, she assisted with the preparation of the reception food that was served at the Business After Hours hosted by the Board of Education. Because of her work schedule, she was unable to serve at this event, but as soon as she arrived at school the next day, she excitedly inquired about the reception.
When teased about all of the dishes left behind, she responded with a smile, “That’s okay! I’ll wash them next period.”
Tybresha Williams “leads with value”. She gives her time and shares her talents without expecting anything in return. The best part is that she does these things while displaying a beautiful attitude.

It was a great day to be a tiger! 180 students who had perfect attendance, good behavior, and no missing assignments for the month of September were invited to play games outside and treated to a snowcone supplied by Wavee Shavee. Students who had missing assignments were allowed to work on the assignments during this time.
Check out our CES 3rd graders sharing their learning from our social and emotional learning (SEL) curriculum, 7 Mindsets!
These students from Mrs. Shepherd's and Ms. Rush's classes are learning more about how to be 100% accountable, and they reflected on some of the progress they've made this morning!
