The fourth grade class has been busy in math, working on our “Pick A Project” papers. Some students are designing sports stadiums, while others are comparing the number of bones different animals have. This is a fun and different way to show off their math skills while provoking curiosity.
Here we have William with a shoe rack he designed and painted, and Chase with a shelf for his horse tack. Good job fellahs and hopefully many more to come.
Secondary art students have been learning about the elements of art and how to talk about art. As part of this lesson, they created mixed media paintings using line, shape, and color on old transparency sheets.
Welcome back to school! The Cotopaxi Early Learning Center (preschool) has been working on identifying their names! We start with name puzzles. The children will learn to recognize their names when shown their name cards; next they will match the extra letters from their envelope with the letters on their name cards. Once they have completed this task, the teachers will come around and check the children to see if they have correctly matched the letters and identify the letters in their names. This process will take several weeks (especially for those who are learning the letters in their name), once they have their letters in their name down, they will start with tracing and writing their names.
Pop, Rock, Funk, a fusion of world music! In our Cotopaxi music department, the high school band is making great strides. In this second week of classes, we were able to review the repertoire played last year. This year the high school band is going for more!!!
Cotopaxi's first graders are learning new routines and working hard on the new curriculum. They are learning about common nouns and characters in their first book, "Tomas and The Library Lady."
Elementary PE is going for gold this year. Students are reviewing routines and learning about the ancient Olympics.

The seniors finished up the quarter with a culminating novel project. They had to work to together in order to create an intricate board game that included official rules and instructions on how to play and trivia questions that covered information they learned from their novel. For their final grade, the students had to play each other's games. The goal was for students to answer the trivia questions and navigate the games successfully. Watching them collaborate and utilize their creativity has been enjoyable to watch.
