🌟 Exciting News from CES 🌟 Ms. Driggers attended the Future of Education Technology Conference (FETC) 2025, where she discovered innovative strategies to enhance learning through technology. She introduced an engaging new edtech strategy for descriptive writing! ✍️💻 Here’s how it worked: 🔹 Students were given a writing prompt along with a picture to inspire a quick write. 🔹 After completing their writing, they anonymously voted on the piece they found most descriptive. 🔹 The top 3 writings were shared, sparking a lively discussion about the descriptive language and techniques used. The students were all smiles as they practiced their writing skills in a fun, interactive way. 🎉 This activity not only fostered creativity but also encouraged peer collaboration and critical thinking. Way to go, Ms. Driggers, for bringing back this incredible strategy! 💡👏

📸 Class Pictures Rescheduled! 📸 Class pictures at Claxton Elementary School have been rescheduled to Monday, February 3rd. Make sure to mark your calendars and send those smiles! 😊 #CESPride #PictureDay #SmilesAllAround

By the end of the program, students were able to: ✅ Identify personal interests and career paths ✅ Understand the risks and rewards of saving and investing ✅ Learn the importance of taxes and insurance ✅ Develop and manage a successful budget ✅ Evaluate the pros and cons of using credit and debit We're so proud of our students for taking this important step in becoming financially savvy future leaders! 🌟
