Hey Stallions! It's Read Across America week! Check out all the ways we will be celebrating this week.
Thank you to Ms Zuna for organizing today's visit with Carol Turner and Lena Gonzalez Berrios of e3kids. During their visit, Carol and Lena enlightened students about e3kids' mission to combat the effects of contaminated water and improve global health. They explained the mechanics of water filtration systems and explained how every little bit counts when helping to spread awareness. Additionally, they shared their efforts in bringing libraries to impoverished schools, highlighting the transformative power of education. Through their passionate advocacy, Carol and Lena inspired the students to take action and become agents of positive change in their communities and beyond.

Students in Mrs. Dillon's Reading class, along with all other 3rd grade classes, have been busy studying Water Conservation & Pollution. The unit concludes with a Project Based Assessment, where students research additional information in order to create a public service announcement, with the goal of educating others about why water is important, ways to conserve water, and how to prevent water pollution. Students were then given the opportunity to present their announcement to the class. Students had the choice to create a poster, a flyer, a brochure, or a booklet. Watch out world! The next group of conservationists are learning how to keep you clean and healthy!
Mrs. Bopp's reading class earned a prize for being safe, kind and responsible. They voted on playing with shaving cream! Students enjoyed smearing, drawing and writing. For a bonus, the room smelled so fresh when we were done!
Mrs. Murdock and Ms. Heaney’s fourth grade reading class had a virtual field trip with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in celebration of Black History Month. They viewed the art piece “Town of Hope” by Archibald Motley Jr. and discussed the Great Migration of African Americans to the north, fleeing persecution in the south. Students had the opportunity to talk about characterization of the people in the piece and emotional connections to art.
Mrs. Beard’s class has been practicing identifying coins. Students worked in groups to come up with facts about each coin and then presented their posters.
One of Mrs. Lee’s math groups is busy working with tens and ones to build numbers on the hundreds chart. They are composing and comparing the numbers.
Yesterday, Mrs. Frack’s Pre-K Class began their Creative Curriculum Ball Study. Over the next several weeks, they will build upon their background knowledge of various kinds of balls to complete activities that will help them dive deeper into math, science, early literacy, social/emotional, and motor development skills. Check out some of their fun and exploration from yesterday!

Hey stallion families! Here are the latest Lost and Found items. If you see something that belongs to your child, please reach out to their teacher, or Mrs. Dugger at kdugger@ccpsweb.org, and we will help your child get their item(s) back. As always, nothing makes us happier than labeled coats, lunch boxes and water bottles. So if you have a free moment, please consider labeling those items. Have a great night!
That's a wrap on kindness week! Thanks for a fun and warmhearted week, Stallions!
