Mrs. Gasseling's First Grade class has been working hard to improve their writing skills. This week they have created unique creatures to use during their descriptive writing lesson. The students will use descriptive words such as; size, shape, color, and personality traits to write sentences about their unique creatures.

Third grade ended the semester with their forces unit in science. This also tested their measuring and problem-solving skills in math. This introductory unit gave students a new understanding of the invisible pushes and pull that operate in the world around them. They realized that understanding forces will let them do surprising things from building a sturdy bridge from paper to using the pull of a rubber band to send a cardboard “hopper” flying. What students learned in this unit will connect to the world around them, leading them to think about such things as the force of friction as they slide down a playground slide or the invisible force that makes magnets cling to the refrigerator. One of our extension projects was to build foosball tables out of shoeboxes to further their understanding.

Our high school Intro to Chemistry class finished up our last test of the quarter last week. So, for this final week of the quarter, they helped inventory all of the current equipment and supplies in our science lab. They then researched what other science labs around the country have and started to develop a list of new equipment and supplies that our lab will need to support our science curriculum.

The Holidays can be very stressful. Given the COVID situation, things may be extra challenging this year. Try practicing a 'Mindful Minute'. Take one minute- concentrate and fill your mind with what is happening right now. What can you hear? What can you smell? What can you feel? What can you see? What can you taste? All your worries will melt away and you will feel calm and relaxed.

Cotopaxi Early Learning Center (Preschool) is working on identifying, recognizing and matching their numbers 0-5. The children have made their own cards with the number on it along with the corresponding number of pompoms. First they match the number then count the pompoms (touch math) and say the number. We utilize numbers everyday as we count the kids, count the number of days of the month, 1:1 correspondence, count down from 5 when we are to transition from an activity, etc. Numbers are an important part of our day.

During this last week, the sophomore English class read the short story "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury. They collaborated to identify various elements of imagery and figurative language in the text. They then used these ideas to aid them in creating illustrations of the story's scenes. Overall, students did a great job working together and making sure their knowledge of the text was evident.
