Hello CBA Families,
We are officially into the 2nd trimester of the school-year! Can you believe it? Thank you for joining us at Parent/Teacher conferences. We truly enjoy every opportunity to share student progress and hearing from our families. Our teachers leave each night just beaming from the conversations had with parents and are looking forward to bringing the good momentum into the 2nd trimester. We hope you had a chance to review our Specialty Newsletters. If not, please take a look below.
We kicked off December with two of our most loved programs, Hour of Code and 12 Days of Creativity. Both programs are designed to engage students in new and creative ways of problem solving, collaborating and higher-order thinking.
A message from Mrs. Garritt about Hour of Code:
Hour of Code is a simple and fun way to introduce students of all ages to computer science. During your child’s technology class they used unplugged activities and their iPad to learn to code or to enhance their coding skills. They also coded throughout the week in their classroom. It was exciting to watch the students light up and learn new skills that they can use even when not coding!
A message from Ms. Benson about 12 Days of Creativity:
CBA is exploring AR Makr, Camera, Clips, GarageBand, iMovie, Keynote, Numbers, and Pages while completing 12 Days of Creativity. This is our 4th year participating in the challenges that let students take a creative journey through winter and winter holidays. Students created a stop motion video game, Pixel Art, a Garage Band interview about favorite childhood toys, an iMovie Click-A-Pic video, a Potato Head using shapes in Pages, and more!
Please see below for important reminders and dates to remember for the month of December. Our 2nd-5th Grade Winter concert and Holiday parties are some of our most anticipated events of the season! We are looking forward to celebrating with our CBA families.
Thank you CBA!
