Second Graders in Mrs. Simms class had a Grinchy celebration today. They did ALL things Grinch today, learned about kindness and growing the Grinch’s heart, and wrote about what they would do to make the Grinch grin! They finished the day building a sleigh to carry presents up Mount Crumpit. What fun!
Last week, our 4th and 5th grade classroom winners competed in the Yowell Spelling Bee. The students competed in multiple rounds and you could tell all the hard work that they put in. Congrats to our top three spellers, Oliver, Thiago and Carson who will be representing Yowell in the county wide bee this January. Way to go stallions!
Mrs. Nicholsons Firsties celebrated finishing our semester math test with pajamas, stuffies, games and a toy from home to play with at recess. So much learning and growing is going on in our classroom. We are getting smarter and smarter every day!

Students in Ms. Heaney’s class did a Holiday Gift Grab: there were 24 presents scattered around the cafeteria with math problems tucked inside. Students worked against the clock to correctly answer as many problems as they could. Learning is such a gift!
Mrs. Silver’s class is getting into the holiday spirit and practicing their fine motor skills.
Hello stallion families! If your child is missing a coat, hat or gloves, please check out our latest Lost and Found items. If something belongs to your child they can pick it up in the cafeteria pod (the area across from the cafeteria) or you can reach out to your child's teacher or Mrs. Dugger at kdugger@ccpsweb.org to help your child reclaim it. All unclaimed items will be donated next Thursday, 12/21.
Stallions! Don't forget! Our next SCA Spirit Day will be on Tuesday, December 19th. The theme is Green vs Red! So pull out your best Grinchy green, or your favorite Rudolph red and join in on the fun!
Did you know that Dr. Capellini works with students as young as 3 that aren't yet enrolled in public school that have speech and language impairments? Come and see the cute holiday happenings in her room. Students are working on labeling vocabulary, requesting items, syllable shapes to form words, prepositions, and verbs all through play! If you have a concern about a younger child (age 2 by September 30th of the current school year), please call 540-825-3677 and request a free developmental or speech and language screening. Guidelines for speech and language milestones can be accessed at https://www.asha.org/public/developmental-milestones/communication-milestones/ Research shows that children who are delayed in speech and language skills and who receive early intervention are more likely to achieve positive outcomes in multiple areas of development.
Mrs. Gomez's class is working hard in small group math with Mrs. Button, Mrs. Woodward, and Mrs. Balcarcel Mejia on Grinchy teen numbers and patterns.
Mrs. Yost's class worked hard today to solve science puzzles to get their "keys" unlocked in time to make it home for the holidays. All five groups finished with time to spare! Way to go 5th graders!
Last week, Mr. Koch's students took turns going up to the board and "being the teacher" as they explained equality, patterns, multiplication, and division questions to prepare for a test.
Mrs. Settle's class has been working hard while still getting into the winter spirit! They've been solving fun winter/ holiday word problems, practicing time by helping Santa read clocks and stay on schedule, and also practiced fractions and prior skills with a math "snowball fight!" Today, students worked on some addition and subtraction with regrouping problems that they decorated and glued on to some winter wreaths!
Today, Mrs. Koch’s reading class got to read their new UFLI story to a stuffed animal!

Mrs. Button is so proud of all of these cuties! They are showing so much growth in reading and writing! She's so grateful that she gets to spend time with them each day!
Miss Hixson's class spent a few minutes learning about applesauce today. The students learned the process, from picking the apples to the end result, a yummy treat! Students then enjoyed an applesauce pouch sent all the way from Motts in Upstate New York, where Miss Hixson's cousin works. These Stallions are always learning!! 🍎😋
In honor of Native American Heritage Month, Ms. Heaney’s reading class has been exploring the Native American culture through an online reading platform. They learned about Native American homes in addition to their traditional music and instruments. Students also had books in the Diversity Den for silent reading time. It’s been a great month of honoring Native Americans!
Hello parents! If you are reading this post, run to the closest sharpie in your house and use it to write your child's name in their coat. Most children's coats have a place inside where you can do this, or just write their name on the tag. This will help us make sure that your student has their coat for these cold days that have arrived and will be here through the winter. It will also help to cut down on the amount of lost and found we collect each day. Lunchboxes are a great item to label as well! Thanks for your consideration!
