Many students in ECCSS are working on narrative writing in their ELA classes. Check out these pics below from Ms. Shaul's class. These CES 3rd graders participated in shared, guided, collaborative, and independent writing for their narrative practice. Students helped Ms. Shaul with word choice and idea development, practiced with Ms. Shaul and a classmate's help, and then practiced adding to their narratives independently. We can't wait to read their narrative writing! #ECCSSWriters #ExplicitInstruction #CelebrateOurStaff #CelebrateOurStudents #CES

Please help ECCSS recognize and celebrate CMS and three 8th grade teachers who were invited to be part of a web-based interview series with the Georgia Department of Education (GADOE)! CMS’s work with Project Based Learning (PBL) is being recognized across the state. The GADOE STEM/STEAM program nominated CMS as a school which is strong in PBL. Digital Media & Literacy, a GADOE group, is celebrating Georgia educators and asked for a few teachers to participate in a web-based series of short interviews called Teacher Chat. As a result of this recognition, three CMS eighth grade teachers, Mrs. Jennifer Price, Mrs. Kelsey Stephens, and Mrs. Shannon Yurek, were invited to be part of a teacher panel for interviews. All three CMS teachers graciously agreed to be interviewed for GADOE's series, Teacher Chat. The hosts of the program were so impressed with the CMS teacher interviews that they decided to turn those teacher segments into four separate episodes, all about PBL at CMS! Congratulations to Mrs. Price, Mrs. Stephens, Mrs. Yurek, and CMS! We're proud of you! #PBL #TeacherLeaders #CelebrateOurStaff #CMS
