We played Guess Who after the students researched and found out 3 facts about their famous person.  Some we knew about and some we leaned about.  All the students had fun playing and guessing the characters.

4th grade also leaned about the layers of the ocean after our Point University Guest did her lesson.

Welcome Back!

The first few days of CCATS classes was full of excited activity.  Third grade started their invention unit off with peanut butter playdough.  Fourth grade did a working together brain teaser called Save Fred.  Fifth grade was introduced to Criminology with a study of their own fingerprints.  So glad to have all my old and new students for another great year.  Keep checking back to see what we are up to!
