A select few teachers were able to go to Greenwood Elementary School to learn more about how to implement HOUSE into our schools! It was so informative and we can't wait to see how AES and CSPS transforms with our commitment to the HOUSE system! 6 Houses, 1 Family!
Last week, the HOH's were able to LEAD by hosting each House Meeting! Our first one went so well! We are so proud of how our HOH's have grown this year!
🍕Mrs. Jones’ 4th-grade class learned how fractions work in real-life situations by using pizza models to practice decomposing and composing fractions.🍕
Students became “pizza shop owners” and composed pizza orders. As "customers" ordered by the slice, the students used pizza models to represent how the order was put together. Next, students practiced decomposing pizza orders for their families by separating the specific slices within the order into fractions.
Mrs. Ransone's Class created survey questions and then asked each student in their classroom the answer to their question. They were super creative in their questions. Students then created bar graphs based on this data.
Logical Ladies Math Club had a great first week! The ladies heard from Ms. Carinell how our custodial staff relies on ratios to prepare their cleaning solutions, and matched different pitchers of lemonade to the correct ratio of lemonade mix to water. They did a great job! We look forward to seeing even more of our club members at our next meetings the week of January 28th when we explore how ratios help artists mix paint colors.
"Yeti or Not" 2025 is here! Mrs. Ransone's class set goals for the new school year. These goals were both academic and personal. They are ready to work hard this year to achieve their goals!

Archaeologists from the Fairfield Foundation visited Ms. Heinsman's Math 5/6 class to demonstrate how coordinate graphing plays a vital role in preserving the context of discovered artifacts.
