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.
Kindergarten is working on addition and subtraction within 10 in class!
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!
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.
