BAM!!! Students at CMS never know when the surprise will happen, but one day a month, students who have completed all assignments, have no behavior referrals or ISS, and have no unexcused absences will be rewarded for their success. Today, these students were rewarded with board games, photos, music, and cookie decorating during 4th period. This BAM day was sponsored by our ELA teachers. We want our students to know that hard work pays off. Congratulations!
CES was excited to have students from the CHS Freshman Transition class come to CES and visit the classrooms to read a book for Read Across America week. It's hard to say who enjoyed it more, the older students or the younger ones, but the excitement was seen and felt throughout the school! #CES #CHS #RAAweek #ReadingIsFun
Read Across America Week
Day 1: One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish
Ms. Teri McElveen, Special Education teacher, is quite the baker. She shared the history of the King Cake with the Culinary students in Mrs. Hart's class, and with students' help, made this traditional Mardi Gras cake.
As part of their study for Black History Month, Mrs. Hendrix's kindergarten students learned about Mae Jemison in space, learned about and made their own traffic light, invented by Garrett Morgan. They also talked about George Washington Carver who invented many things with peanuts and the class made and enjoyed eating peanut butter! #CES #ExcellenceLeadershipFamily
How many apps are on your phone? Did you ever wonder how an app is created? Students in Mr. Sapp's STEM classes learned how to create their own app with the help of the online service, Glide. Glide allows you make mobile apps from Google Spreadsheets. Daniel Rivera and Dustin Hightower from First District RESA taught the students how to start with a base template and how to plug the data into the mobile app from a spreadsheet. They customized their app and published it, and then learned how to add it to their phones or send to others. This is a launch for a mobile development app that students will develop to solve a problem. #ProjectBasedLearning

Our 7 Mindset Focus this week is THANK IT FORWARD. One guaranteed way to feel better and become happier is to do something for someone else. One of the best things you can do is to tell someone thank you for who they are and what they have done for you. Telling someone thank you makes the other person feel good and it makes you feel good for telling them! So let someone special know how thankful you are for them this week!
Ms. Hendrix and Ms. Peel’s class learned all about teeth this week. They talked about going to the dentist and how to keep their teeth healthy. In this activity, they learned about different methods to clean the teeth—toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash. Then, they brushed “bacteria” off the giant teeth! #CES #ExcellenceLeadershipFamily
