They were so excited to share their special dish with the other first grade students!
Speaking of popcorn, Mrs. Libertella and Mr. Keller’s Consumer Chemistry class recently did an exploration of how the fluffy movie time treat is made. They compared the mass and volume of popcorn in two states: before popping, and after popping. Students learned that the mass decreases slightly because of the small amount of water vapor that escapes when the corn pops. However, as you may know, the volume of the popcorn increases dramatically.
But why? The water inside the kernel heats, turns to steam and builds pressure. When the hull ruptures, the starch gelatinizes, and rapidly expands into the fluffy foam structure we recognize as popcorn.
To kick off Thanksgiving Week, Camden High School held a "School Spirit Day". While students were encouraged to wear their blue and white, the staff were challenged to wear apparel from their own high schools. Among the highlights were 12 staff members wearing their own Blue Devil gear as alumni, a very strong contingent from our neighboring District in Rome, and some apparel from out of state.
Look down in front, and you'll see a classic from a school that no longer exists in its past form. Mrs. Ciotti came to school rocking her varsity jacket from her days at Ilion High School - home of the Golden Bombers. Today you know that District, post-merger, as Central Valley.
After reading the book Balloons Over Broadway by Melissa Sweet and learning about the history of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, 4th grade students at Camden Elementary held their own parade right in the library! Students created their own balloons, attached them to Ozobot robots and cheered on as they watched their balloons sail by.

Along the way, each of the four classes at CHS was competing for top honors.

The Class of 2027 placed second, the Class of 2028 was third, and the Class of 2029 was fourth. For their victory, the Senior class will receive some delicious ice cream!

In the same sequence, Billy Elliot and Sunset Blvd came off the board.
We're now down to two selections - Mrs. Doubtfire (which was yesterday's crowd favorite by a WIDE margin), and Big Fish.
Which one will it be? Stay tuned for tomorrow's reveal!
At this morning's 7th and 8th grade student meeting, Camden Police Chief Sean Redden paid a visit to CMS to give a brief overview of what is considered violence and harassment, and the consequences that may lie ahead for either as they get closer to adulthood. Thanks for stopping by, Chief!
Students toured the campus, and learned about the admissions process, financial aid opportunities, clubs, and student activities through presentations and conversations with MVCC staff and students. Students were treated to lunch in the Alumni College Center before returning to Camden.
