Yes, it was Twisted Tuesday yesterday, and we had some interesting characters on campus at CHS! We ALSO hosted our CHS ELA YGA Portfolio Project Launch!
Check out these pics of students actively engaging with writing yesterday! Ms. Hedden, Ms. Brantley, Ms. Sowell, Ms. Francis, Mr. Lanier, Ms. Rabich, and Ms. Kirby collaborated to prep materials to make sure students collaborated, studied and used models of different genres of writing, participated in shares of their writing, and lots more!
The toddlers and elderly folks present inspired lots of great writing, and we appreciate all our teachers and students are pouring into their YGA Portfolios this year! We can't wait to read our students' writing!

Students in Mrs. Liberatore’s class found out what happens when you mix solids (pop rocks) with liquids (coke). They discovered that gas (carbon dioxide) is produced and released into the balloon. This project based learning activity was made possible by the 4Cs: Communication, Critical Thinking, Creativity, and Collaboration.
Claxton Middle School will hold its annual Title I Meeting on Tuesday, September 20, 2022, at 5:30 pm in the CMS Media Center. All parents are invited to attend.
Mr. Sapp’s STEM classes were introduced to the Engineering Design Process this week. Students enjoyed problem solving with their teams to see who could build a freestanding ring using only potato chips. In this activity, teams were able to brainstorm, design, test, and redesign their project. Students also completed a writing component in which they were able to communicate their results. This activity required students to practice all of the 4Cs.
