Writing Consultant Christie Jackson Visits CES
Today, writing consultant Christie Jackson visited CES to host model lessons, helping our young authors strengthen their writing skills.
• Kindergarten writers focused on structuring their stories with a clear beginning, middle, and end using a story planner.
• First graders brainstormed topics they know well to prepare for informational writing.
• Second graders worked on expanding and revising complete sentences to enhance their writing.
After the lessons, our teachers had the opportunity to debrief with Mrs. Jackson, discussing effective writing strategies and teaching techniques to further support our students.
We look forward to welcoming Mrs. Jackson back on Thursday when she will work with our 3rd-5th graders!











CES Terrific Kids for February are "Friendly"








Red Kingdom!











Our CES students are tackling their goals just like champions—making progress, scoring big, and celebrating their own Super Bowl victories along the way!











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!
Elliott Owens (Miss Book’s First Grade Class)
Elliott can always be found looking for ways to help others. At recess, Elliott spent part of his time trying to push snow off of the turf into the snow pile so that all of his friends could have more room to play.
Gracelynn Ball (Mrs. Schneider’s 3rd Grade)
Gracelynn shines EVERY day she steps foot in CES. She is a very hard worker, even when it's tough. She is on task and a great leader in our classroom! She is helpful and caring to everyone! Her kind smile can brighten the worst day! Keep shining, sweet girl!
Henry Shaw (Mrs. Beck’s 4th Grade Class)
Henry Shaw lets his kindness shine by using manners. He always says please and thank you. He waits patiently when others are talking. He is a great carpet partner and tries his best on his assignments.




Congratulations to our Hornet High Five overall winners! Way to go!


CES Snapshots











ABCs....Rollin' along in Kindergarten!


CES celebrated the 100th Day of School with a variety of fun and engaging activities throughout the building! A special shoutout to Zero the Hero—aka Langston Johnson—for making the day extra special with a surprise visit to our kindergarten and first-grade students!











CES third graders participated in the Letters of Love national philanthropy project, creating heartfelt messages to bring joy and encouragement to children facing long-term hospital stays. Their kindness and creativity are sure to brighten someone’s day!


Some students from the high school leadership class visited our elementary students during lunch to share excitement about Jam the Gym—a fun annual event happening on Friday, February 7th, at 6 PM at CHS. And let’s be honest—who doesn’t love the thrill of tossing a paper airplane for a chance to win a prize? Don’t miss out on the fun!


Today was "Red Carpet/Travis & Taylor Day" for Super Bowl Spirit Week at CES! Tomorrow is "Red Friday" at CES!







After learning about different landforms and types of maps, students in 2nd grade created a physical map showing different types of landforms. Then, they made an edible version to match. So fun and yummy!





Our Chilli MO PTO brought Hornet pride to campus today by opening the Hornet Hive Spirit Shop! Students had the chance to choose from a variety of Hornet gear and accessories, including keychains and bookmarks, thoughtfully crafted by the GRTS marketing class. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Shannon Mason, Chilli MO PTO officer for facilitating this memorable experience. It's a great day to be a HORNET ❤️
