CMS students enjoyed a fun Friday to kickoff IAR Monday. We started the day with Leader in me by meeting with 7th/8th buddies and talking about service projects. Then students had their choice to participate in an academic decathlon or a volley tennis tournament. Everyone had a great time. Congratulations to Mrs. Dow's. EPIC class for winning the volley tennis tournament for the second time this year!
As part of CMS's 1/2 Day early dismissal activities today, some 8R students enjoyed competing against each other in an Academic Decathlon in Mr. Spear's room. It is amazing how much trivia the students know! It was a fun way to end the week together before IAR testing next week.
CMS 8th graders enjoyed sharing their commercial projects created in ELA classes with snacks in the Media Center before leaving for Spring Break! There were some amazing skills displayed in these projects such as advertising techniques, technology, video editing, graphic design and more! Students used their 7 Habits skills of beginning with the end in mind, putting first things first, seeking first to understand-then to be understood and synergizing to make the finished product! #cmscusd1
