Thanks to everyone who attended. It was a great event, and we wish we could all watch college football together again tomorrow night. ❤️🏈💙

South Carolina is divided into 6 physical regions.

Living in Charleston, CDS students are pretty familiar with the coastal zone, but we might need notes from our 3rd graders to learn more about South Carolina’s other 5 regions.

A recent map activity helped students compare the physical features in each region. Way to dive deep into geography!

Science and team building for these 6th graders during their recent overnight trip to Rock Eagle!

The field trip focuses on earth science and human impact on natural systems, but the class memories and connections are an important side benefit of these off-campus adventures. See you Monday, 6th graders!

Why St. Augustine for 7th grade? Because history comes alive when students can stand where it happened!

The group has been absorbing it all from the Fountain of Youth to the Old Jail Museum. Students have been from one end of the oldest city in America to the other enhancing their history knowledge and building memories with classmates. We look forward to hearing more about your adventures!

Students double dipped during lunch this week at our FLIK Independent School Dining monthly featured food tasting.

Chef Joe prepared two hummus versions for students to compare, but the tri-color carrot sticks were the biggest draw for the 1st grade tasters. Double yum!

Thank you to Chef Joe and his FLIK team for preparing a wide variety of fresh lunch options for the CDS community every day. ❤️🥗💙

What happens when Bigs and Littles get together at CDS?

Stronger friendships, teamwork, collaboration, connections…

Our older students spent time with their “Littles” yesterday at our first school-wide “Bigs and Littles” get together of the year. What a great way to start the week!

Did you know Mateo is the Spanish version of the name, Matthew?

At CDS, we have two Mateos, and both their moms spoke to the school this morning about their family traditions from Spain and Puerto Rico to highlight Hispanic Heritage Month.

Thank you for sharing personal stories and connections about Hispanic culture with CDS students.

Hispanic Heritage Month ends October 15, so we will be on the look out for more activities in classrooms over the next several weeks.
