It's become a rite of passage at CES. As with Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, or other creatures of legend, our younger learners are fascinated by Leprechauns at this time of year.
In the days leading up to St. Patrick's Day, first grade students use their imagination to come up with elaborate traps to see if they can get a glimpse. And every year, the Leprechauns invade CES, make a mess of first grade, and slip away undetected, despite the brighter and brighter trap ideas employed by our first grade inventors. When they came in today, students saw a few things got moved around, but also found decorations for the holiday!
A full story is coming soon to CamdenSchools.org. While you wait, enjoy these photos of some of our great student projects, and a few reactions from our students!
In the spirit of the holiday, Miss Scheftic's kindergarten class completed a directed drawing of a Leprechaun today!

Our March edition of the "Look at Me, I'm Three!" program was all about Bears!
The group read "Bear Snores On" by Karma Wilson. They learned about hibernation and made "caves" out of paper bags. During the mindfulness portion of the program, our young learners went on a little "bear hunt". As always, the evening also included music from Laurie Berkner and Dr. Jean!
We're excited to see how they're growing as they get closer and closer to their Pre-K eligible year! Information on next month's meeting is coming soon!

Last week, Mrs. Calabro's 8th grade math classes had a Pi Day celebration. Friday, March 14th is set aside to observe National Pi Day, a rational educational holiday based on an irrational number. (3.141596254..........)
The classes would like to thank WalMart in Rome for donating some pies for this special day, and because they were round.... students could use Pi to measure the dimensions of those pies!
