🌱🔬 Science in Action in Mrs. Harrelson's and Mrs. Russell's Class! 🔬🌱

Our students are putting their scientist hats on as they explore the essential question: “What do plants need to survive?” 🌿☀️💧 Over the next 2–3 weeks, students will make observations, record changes, and monitor the growth of their plants as they discover what plants need to thrive. Students also participated in a fun “Penny Lab” 🪙, where they explored the Scientific Method by making observations, asking questions, forming hypotheses, conducting an investigation, and analyzing their results.

We love seeing our students learning by doing, asking questions, and thinking like scientists! 🧪👩🏽‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬

📚 ATTENDANCE MATTERS IN CCSD! ⏰

Every day counts, and every minute of instruction matters!

Getting students to school every day and on time is essential to academic success. When students arrive late, they lose valuable seat time, instructional time, and opportunities to learn and engage with their teachers and classmates.

Don’t Be Tardy!
Be present. Be on time. Be ready to learn.

Parents and guardians, we need your partnership in establishing strong attendance habits. Together, we can ensure our students receive every opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed.

🖤💛💙🩶 CCSD: Every Student. Every Day. Every Minute Matters.
