Students in Mrs. Bloomquist's Library Skills class recently did some coding with our new SAM Lab equipment in the media center at CMS! Their assignment was to de-bug the program they were given, and figure out how to make their car run straight.
During Friday's professional development day, we brought some of the best of the best together as Camden Middle School spent the day with the staff from another National School to Watch, Cuba-Rushford Middle School! The two schools came together for a presentation on Grading for Equity to the Middle School level, and smaller breakout sessions were offered to promote networking and closer collaboration. It was an excellent day of learning and sharing!
No matter the student's age, good attendance matters. #CCSDAttendanceAwarenessMonth

Mrs. Kuc's second grade class at Camden Elementary learned more about the animal kingdom with a field trip to Fort Rickey last week! As you might expect, they were big fans of the petting zoo! Thanks to our student teacher, Miss Sochia, for the pictures!
Friday's morning program at CES was hosted by first graders, and featured a special guest presentation from the Camden Fire Department! This week is National Fire Prevention Week, so our local volunteer firefighters came in with some great reminders about what to do to prevent fires, and what to do if you are in a building that catches fire.
They also did an equipment demonstration to help our young students become familiar with how an interior firefighter looks and sounds in full turnout gear. This helps to build trust and hopefully, facilitate a better response if any student should ever find themselves in that unfortunate situation.
It's as good a time as any right now to check your smoke detectors and make/practice an evacuation plan for your household.
Yesterday, Miss Stone's class at CES finished their science unit on works of water and erosion. Students learned about the flow of rivers and where they come from. They learned why some beaches have different color sand and lastly we learned about erosion and landslides. Students built models of mountains using cornstarch and made it rain on their models. This allowed them to see the formation of rivers and canyons. Lastly students tested different way to protect their mountain to avoid landslides. students took notes and made adjustments to their models to more effectively protect their mountains.

Last week in art class with Miss Lis, McVille 3rd graders brainstormed different images and symbols that mean something to them. Then, they created those sylmbols/images on large paper and added dots using bingo dabbers. These dots were inspired by artwork created by Yayoi Kusama. Great job!
Mrs. Willson's homeroom celebrated a "Successful September" with a morning cup of hot chocolate during math class last week! October is off to a good start!
World events, negative or positive, are an opportunity for topical and teachable moments.
The recent fallout of Helene, and the conversation about Milton as it prepares to make landfall on Florida's gulf coast have sparked some curiosity among our Middle School students about how hurricanes form, and what they're capable of. To help keep students informed, Mrs. Britton has brought out some meteorology books as a featured collection.
A long musical journey begins with a few notes!
