It has been a whirlwind of a week in Mrs. Sanford’s PreK class at SMES as they dove into all things weather! Their little meteorologists have been busy exploring the elements through some amazing hands-on projects:
Rain Makers: They crafted our very own rain sticks to mimic the soothing sounds of a spring shower.
Catching the Breeze: They learned all about wind and even experimented with moving objects to create thier own "mini-gusts."
Head in the Clouds: After studying the different types of clouds, they took their learning to the next level by "writing" in the clouds!
It’s been a week of discovery, creativity, and a little bit of stormy excitement. We are so impressed by how much their PreK students are learning about the world around them!

Another step closer for CCHS on the road to the State Championship! 🏆

After two days of competition in Columbus, the team entered the playoffs in 4th place.
Their performance there—combined with their strong showing in Dalton— gets them one step closer to the FRC Peachtree State Championship in April.
Congratulations to these students for continuing the tradition of excellence at CCHS! 🤖🚀

Mrs. Hastert’s 5th grade Shark Time group at SMES just wrapped up an incredible journey through the pages of Olivetti by Allie Millington! ⌨️📖
To bring the book's themes to life, their students dived into two meaningful projects:
The "Two Sides" Mask Project: Inspired by Ernest’s mom, Beatrice, and the way she hides her true feelings and past from her family, students designed masks split down the middle. One side represents the "public" self they show the world, while the other captures the "private" self they keep tucked away—just like the secrets Beatrice held onto. 🎭
Keepsake Boxes: Following the idea that memories are treasures, every student painted their own keepsake box—a special place to guard their own "mementos" and most important stories. 🎨✨

Mrs. Donna Andrews's KES gifted kindergarten and first-grade students explored the life of a significant paleontologist, Mary Anning. From a young age, Anning taught herself geology, anatomy, and scientific illustration. Mary Anning is celebrated as a trailblazer in paleontology and is renowned as the greatest fossil hunter of all time! Following this, the students identified and researched local bird species. To conclude, they created bird feeders to observe these birds at home.

Students in Mrs. Cabutto's class at MLCE had a magically fun time learning with Lucky Charms marshmallows! Each child received a unique mix of marshmallows and jumped right into sorting, graphing, and counting their colorful treasures.
As they worked, they used their math skills to compare their data and determine which groups had the greatest and least amounts. Hands-on learning + a little bit of sweetness = a lesson they won’t forget!

#BElieveinCAMDEN #WeAreCamden #CamdenCountyStrong

MLGES 4th-graders used LEGOs to complete different building challenges that focused on creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving. Each group had to design and build a structure that could solve a specific challenge.
Hands-on activities like this help students see how science, technology, engineering, and math connect to the real world. The creativity and teamwork in the room today were incredible! So proud of these young engineers and the effort they put into their designs. 🚀

🧬🍪 Learning Biology One Cookie at a Time! 🍪🧬
Students in Ms. Snow and Ms. Knight’s Biology classes at CCHS recently brought protein synthesis to life with a hands-on Protein Synthesis Cookie Lab! Using specially prepared sugar cookies as their models, students worked through the steps of DNA transcription and RNA translation in a creative (and tasty) way.
The learning didn’t stop there—students also headed outside for an interactive activity using colored chalk to visually compare DNA and RNA, helping reinforce the structural and functional differences between the two molecules.
A big shoutout to the CCHS Culinary students under the direction of Chef Hicks, who helped make the lab possible by baking the sugar cookies used in the activity. This collaboration between departments created a fun, engaging, and memorable learning experience for everyone involved! 👏
