The sophomore and freshmen English classes have been delving into the art of rhetoric. Over the past week, students have been searching through media to learn and locate persuasive (rhetorical) techniques and devices. With the use of "good old" scissors and glue, they cut out examples from magazines and pasted them on posters to show their understanding. The students enjoyed this project as it was something new and different from the everyday lessons.

Ethos, Pathos, Logos . . . the art of rhetoric.
First-graders have practiced their public speaking and listening skills by having Show and Tell every Thursday. Students work on standing up straight, talking loud enough for everyone to hear, and not using their props in a distracting manner. They have also worked on giving the speaker full attention, keeping their hands and feet quiet, and staying silent until an appropriate time. Last week, we had lots of fun using these skills to have a class debate over whether cats or dogs make better pets.

In Math, our fifth graders have wrapped up a lesson on adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators as well as the challenging concept of adding and subtracting mixed numbers. We have also been enjoying our multiplication facts games, where we compete in two teams and race to the board to answer a multiplication problem. Our goal is to make math fun and exciting to ensure we are prepared to tackle Middle School Math!

"I stay motivated in difficult situations," "I believe working hard leads to success" and "I believe that a smile helps everything" are just a few examples of "I" statements the 8th grade class constructed during their SEL time. We all had a really great conversation on what the "P" (Positive Attitude) in PRIDE really means.

Preschool children listen to Julie Nutter as she reads a story about dental hygiene.
Mr. Tressler or Mr. T to Cotopaxi Early Learning Center came to the preschool to read a story to the children. The kids picked out, "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Books" for him to read. After the story, the children asked if we could take Mr. T on a Bear Hunt. So we did!

Cotopaxi School has been focusing on our positive attitude behavior! Our Civics class created "I statements" that are reflected in a positive attitude and posted these statements to a poster board. We have posted this board outside of Coach C's room for casual viewing! A great way to start the 2nd semester!
