Over the last two weeks, our fifth grade WINGS class dissected 7 small animals to learn about the different body systems & animal classifications. The exploration included an earthworm, starfish, grasshopper, perch, clam, crawfish, & bullfrog.

Mrs. Howe's 2nd grade class designed physical maps of landforms. Then, they made an edible design of their map. What a fun way to end their unit on landforms and maps!
Miss Cothern's 1st grade class had a fun day, today learning about weather! We made cumulonimbus clouds out of shaving cream, and then added our water droplets to make a storm in a cup!! 🌧️

"Let Your Kind Shine”
Kindness is everywhere at CES! The three recipients of this week's awards were nominated by a teacher or staff member for showing exceptional kindness. They received a sunshine bag and the opportunity to sit in the yellow sunshine chair over the next week to promote kindness throughout CES!
Hendrix Howe (Mrs. Hayen’s Kindergarten)
Hendrix Howe deserves to be nominated for the Let Your Kind Shine Award because he consistently shows kindness and compassion to others. Even as a kindergartener, Hendrix has a soft heart and is always willing to help his classmates and teachers. His gentle nature, willingness to include others, and helpful attitude make him a wonderful example of how small acts of kindness can brighten someone’s day. Hendrix truly lets his kindness shine in everything he does.
Lincoln Melgar (Miss Hall’s 2nd Grade)
Lincoln is always willing to help a friend in need and uses kindness throughout his whole day! He is a great friend to others and a wonderful team player in the classroom!
Anniston Christy is a fourth grader in Mrs. Beck’s room.
We are proud to honor this student with the Sunshine Award! Although Anniston may be quiet and shy, her kindness shines brightly every day. She is always willing to help others, whether it's offering a gentle hand, sharing supplies, or quietly supporting a classmate who needs a friend. Her caring heart and thoughtful actions make a big difference in our classroom. She leads with kindness, works hard, and brings a warm and positive spirit to our school community. We are so grateful for the sunshine she shares just by being her sweet self!
