Check out another class, Mrs. Koontz’s class, engineering a turkey cage! They worked hard, got creative, and came up with some impressive designs. You won’t want to miss what they built
🦃 Tom the Turkey STEM Challenge! 🧪✨
Yesterday, Ms. Clark-Thomas and Ms. Coleman’s class took on the Tom the Turkey STEM Challenge — and they nailed it! Students used toothpicks and mini marshmallows to design and build their own turkey structures, showing incredible creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.
We’re so proud of their hard work and imagination!
🍁 We hope everyone enjoys a fun, safe, and restful Thanksgiving Break! 🧡🤎

Our 5th graders in Ms. Warner & Mrs. Brittingham's class stepped back in time for a Colonial Market Simulation! 🕰️
They were assigned colonial Virginia jobs and tried their luck at bartering for goods. The big takeaway? Bartering is tough when you can't find the right trade! It was a fantastic, hands-on lesson in colonial economics and the challenges of a cashless society.

⛏️ 5th Grade Coal Mining Cookie Lab! 🍪
Ms. Warner and Mrs. Brittingham's 5th graders dove into a hands-on Nonrenewable Energy lab!
Students became "miners," carefully extracting "coal" (chocolate chips) from their cookies. It was a fun way to explore nonrenewable resources and how they get used up.
Great work, future scientists!

The upcoming holiday season is filled with excitement, but it can also be a time when some of our families need a little extra support. 💛 🎙 In our newest episode of Amplified, we sit down with Lisa Kerry, one of our Family & Community Engagement (FACE) specialists and Nischelle Buffalow from Buffalow Family and Friends to talk about partnership, compassion, and how our community works together to make sure no one feels alone this season. 🎧 Hear the stories, learn how to access support, and discover ways to get involved at cpschools.com/amplified or wherever you get your podcasts. #EmpowerCPS #CPSCelebrates
