Students in Mr. Sapp's STEM classes were given an engineering challenge to try and build the strongest geodesic dome with only gummy bears and toothpicks. Students were also given a task to build a tower that could hold a tennis ball. The ball had to be a specific height when stood on the table, and only supplies provided by Mr. Sapp could be used. The students did a great job by being creative and thinking critically. #4Cs #ActiveLearning
Mrs. Shaul’s 3rd graders read several informational task cards and practiced determining the author’s point of view. Once their team determined the author’s point of view, they got a few minutes of game time! #CES

There is no cost for the school physical on Tuesday. Students must have a parent/guardian signed permission form and completed physical paperwork in order to have a physical.
Physical permission forms and paperwork can be picked up at the CMS/CHS office.
Please visit our ECCSS website calendar page (https://www.evans.k12.ga.us/page/calendars-and-events) for other important reminders!
Junior and Senior 4-Hers are invited to an escape room tomorrow, Tuesday, April 18th, from 5:30-6:30 PM! Please see the attached flyers for additional information about tomorrow and upcoming events happening in May!
Our 7 Mindsets Focus for this week is "Leave A Legacy." What do you want people to think when they hear your name? That you’re a good friend? That you’re kind? That you work hard? Whatever it is, that’s your legacy! Make sure you are cultivating that reality in your everyday actions.
Tyrone Atkinson (11th) and Trinity Lavant (10th) represented Claxton High School at the Student Athlete Leadership Conference on Friday, April 14. Athletic Director Randy Cooper accompanied the student athletes to the event in Macon.
What a BEAUTIFUL day to grow together in ECCSS!

The 6th grade students in Mrs. Myers's 4th-period Science class had a remarkable experience recently when they participated in the Skype a Scientist program. Lindsay Blank, a meteorologist from Spire Global, spoke to the students about various aspects of weather and climate, including her work in chasing tornadoes, which she said was her favorite weather phenomenon and the most misunderstood.
During the Skype session, the students had the chance to ask Ms. Blank questions and share their experiences with weather data collection. Ms. Blank was particularly intrigued by the students' work using drones and Databots to collect weather data, and she mentioned that she never did anything that cool in Science class when she was their age.
Spire Global, Inc., the company where Ms. Blank works, specializes in tracking global data sets powered by a large constellation of nanosatellites. The company is involved in tracking weather patterns, among other things, which is a crucial aspect of meteorology and weather forecasting.
The Skype a Scientist program was a fantastic opportunity for the students to connect virtually with a real-life scientist, inspiring them to explore STEM fields further. The students learned firsthand about the work that scientists do and the impact it has on our world. They gained a deeper understanding of weather and climate and the importance of accurate weather forecasting in our daily lives.
Mrs. Strickland and Ms. Christman's class have been learning about plants and measurement this week. Today they went outside and planted vegetables and flowers in the Kinder"Garden". #CES #ExcellenceLeadershipFamily
In anticipation of the Local Spring games on Saturday, April 15 from 9AM-11AM at the Pecan Grove, we held a Special Olympics Parade of Athletes during Tiger Pride at CHS and CMS. We are proud of all our athletes.

First graders along with Ms. Ivey's second grade students recently visited the Savannah Children’s Theatre. Students learned all about character traits while also learning how to perform in plays. We have some very talented students at CES! #ExcellenceLeadershipFamily #CES
Mrs. Myers's 6th grade Science class recently had a comprehensive and exciting learning experience combining Databots and drones to study weather and climate. Databots, a state-of-the-art multi-sensor tool, provided live sensor data that allowed students to collect, visualize, and analyze real-time data from real-life scenarios. The students collected temperature, humidity, and air pressure data throughout the day, comparing their findings with published weather forecasts. The activity spanned several days, allowing the students to observe the current weather based on the collected data and the information they learned in class.
In addition to using Databots, the students also learned how to fly drones, which added another exciting dimension to their study of weather and climate. By taking control of the drones, they collected aerial data, providing a unique perspective on weather patterns and the surrounding environment. The students gained valuable skills and had the chance to apply their knowledge in a practical way.
Overall, the students well-received this immersive and comprehensive learning experience, and proved an effective way to bring science to life in the classroom. By combining the use of Databots and drones, the students gained a well-rounded understanding of weather and climate and valuable hands-on experience that will serve them well in their future studies. #PBL
