BOARD MEETING LIVE: https://youtube.com/live/dBZFbMbfXhc?feature=share
Each day is an opportunity to see our students shine in their own unique ways. Watching them grow in confidence, whether it's learning a new skill or mastering a difficult task, is incredibly rewarding. Huge congratulations to Emily Price for finishing her very own handmade dress! She worked diligently on each step of the sewing process, from picking the fabric to the final stitch. What an incredible achievement!
5th grade completed presentations of former Presidents and are now working to understand the constitutional amendments.
The Cotopaxi Early Learning Center (preschool) students work everyday on numbers, letters, name writing, patterning, social interactions, problem-solving, etc. Each student has a job which teaches them independence as well as responsibility. Our focus is to teach them to be respectful, motivated, responsible, kind problem-solvers!
Kindergarten is working on addition and subtraction within 10 in class!
In fourth grade we are reading the book, "Hatchet", by Gary Paulsen. We are talking a lot about extreme environments and survival skills. We have studied mountains and different types of terrain. The students are very excited to continue on with this book and to write their own survival stories.

In this hand program you will find important information about the musical repertoire that our talented students will perform during this beautiful show.
See you at the concert!
Enjoy!
The fourth-grade class has been practicing using Socratic Seminars to discuss stories they are reading. They talk about what they know about the stories, how they feel about it, and what they think. This has really helped the students gain a deeper understanding of the lessons, and they enjoy being able to sit in a circle and have a conversation. They learn new things from each other that they might not have thought of, and hear different perspectives of the stories. They are also learning conversational skills like active listening and patience, and being respectful of one another.
