Students completed a Lego directions activity. They created a six piece "masterpiece" and then wrote down their creation directions. Students switched disassembled creations and tried to follow their peer's written directions to build it. The room was filled with laughter!!!
Students had to write in their science journal the importance of not only following directions, but writing good directions as well! Communication is very important!
CES Car Pick Ups: Thank you for helping us keep the pick up line flowing. We want to prevent having parents wait extended times in cars, especially in our Georgia heat. Parents, please remember that our car dismissals for PreK are 3:00, Kindergarten at 3:15, 1st/2nd grades at 3:20 and 3rd/4th/5th grades at 3:25. Make sure you have your car tags hanging as well. Also, you must stay in your car and go through the line to pick up your child. Thank you!!!
The Evans Region College and Career Academy is committed to preparing our students to be workforce ready. This means we are intentionally teaching, practicing, and instilling in our students soft skills that regional employers value. Communication is one of these employability skills, and a major part of effective communication involves active listening. Students in Freshman Seminar wrote and acted out a conversation that reflected two of the active listening strategies that they studied.
Attention Parents of: Kindergarten students, 7th grade students, and 11th grade students mandatory immunizations need to be up to date by Tuesday, September 7th.
Proof of immunizations should be turned into the school nurse.
"Smooth, bump, bump--to the pump!" Students in the Firefighting Pathway used this mnemonic to help them complete a simulated emergency response situation. Wearing their Nomex hoods, which served as smoke, the students felt their way to safety. In addition, the team was able to rescue the 160 pound victim (the class mannequin). At the end of the exercise, the equipment was properly rolled, and emergency teams reported their success.
The instructors of the Evans Region College and Career Academy pathways are on fire about the 4 Cs--communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity! Coach Oglesby's Entrepreneurship students are practicing the "House on Fire" Habitude to become better communicators.

What do "Wild Thing", "Three Little Birds", and "Back in Black" have in common? They can be played using the same three chords. Guitar students in Mr. McCooey's class will choose one of these songs to perform later in the week as they practice the A, D, and E chords.
Can you see it? It's a yellow ball! Students in Ms. Candice Altman's Freshman Transition class used collaboration, communication, and a growth mindset to pass the ball to each person in the group as quickly as possible. After three different attempts, this winning team was able to complete the task in ten seconds.
Evans County Firefighter and CHS Firefighting Instructor Brian Croft introduced his young recruits to three qualities that will serve them well in any career--integrity, honor, and pride.
These Nurse Aide students are working together to create a skit that exemplifies one of the characteristics that healthcare workers must possess.
