Mr. Fuller & Ms. Milligan’s 2nd graders teamed up to use physical activity to practice learning “FACE” in music notes!! Both classes did an amazing job and earned a positive hummingbird referral!! 😁🎼🏆
A day of Area and Perimeter fun in Wonderland 🏰❤️ All 3rd grade students found the area and perimeter of my (The Queen of Hearts 👸 ❤️) rose garden, helped the Mad Hatter with his tea table measurements, helped Alice find the area and perimeter of the tunnel she tumbled down so she could return home, helped the rabbit measure his memo, and settled area/perimeter war between my guards. These third graders will take their Unit 7 assessment on 2D shapes, area and perimeter tomorrow and I can't wait for them to show all they know!

Sweet Success in 5th Grade! 🍬 Mrs. Travis' amazing 5th graders put their decimal skills to delicious use in a Candy Shop classroom activity today! They tackled real-world math problems by adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimals to figure out candy costs. They also sharpened their rounding skills and compared decimal values to put their sweet treats in order. Big thanks to Ms. Collins and Mrs. Dajani for their awesome assistance in the candy shop!
Kindergarteners in Mrs. Sherman's class finished learning about ecosystems this past week. Once complete, students then created the rainforest to share their learning!

You may have noticed some new curb appeal at CES!
Choptank partnered with Shore Rivers and the State of Maryland to plant 21 native Maryland trees on our campus. A select few students got the opportunity to make their mark at CES by planting the trees in the front of school. Other trees were planted around the rear of the building with 7 trees planted on the playground.
We cannot wait to watch these trees grow just like our students.

Today CES participated in our annual collaboration with distinguished judges from around Maryland as a part of their Read & Robes program. This program started with 6 judges last year but has grown this year to 13 judges. Our 2nd and 3rd graders were so grateful for the time and energy put into this collaboration. Each student will be bringing home a new book, bag and pencils.
Thank you so much to all involved.
