Students in Mrs. Smith's 8th grade math classes are using their knowledge of identifying functions by using function rules and the vertical line test to sort twenty data sets presented in tables, graphs, lists of coordinate pairs, and circle charts. #4Cs #ProjectBasedLearning
Ms. Fallin and Mrs. Fennell’s class have been learning about standard RI 5, various text features in nonfiction texts. Students selected a nonfiction text and completed an activity on their chromebooks. They took pictures of the table of contents, headings, and the glossary and discussed why we use these text features. #CES #ExcellenceLeadershipFamily
Julie Howard, Paige Nobles, Jill Lyons, Brittany Hutcheson, Lisa Daniel, and Melissa Sapp from CES recently attended LitCon ‘23, a National K-8 Literacy Conference.
They got to meet and are pictured with Jan Richardson, author of the Next Step Forward in Guided Reading: An Assess-Decide-Guide Framework for Supporting Every Reader. She has also co-authored the Literacy Footprints Guided Reading System with Michele Dufresne (also pictured).
Can you communicate with others without speaking? Students in Mrs. Smith's 7th grade career class are learning how to do just that. The students played a game in which they were divided into groups (note the colored dots on their heads). One person from each group had to leave the room while the others chose an object that they wanted the one student to identify. The student who was sent out had to identify the object, but the only help they received was applause (quiet or loud, depending on how close they got to the object). The students had a great time, and it forced them to communicate without talking, all while depending on their team to help them out. #4Cs

During our strategic planning discussions on academic services/student achievement, CMS Media Specialist, Ginger Durrence, incorporated some Ron Clark Academy techniques while sharing out for her group…standing and getting everyone’s attention! Way to go Mrs. Durrence!
7th grade students in Mrs. Sapp's math class explored how a radius, diameter, and circumference are connected with hands-on experience of drawing circles. Students then took everyday items, measured the diameter and solved for the radius and circumference. They then checked their work by using string to measure the distance around the circle. #ProjectBasedLearning #4Cs
