Lara's Email About STEM CAREER Volunteers
Hello Everyone!
I am looking for community members and parents to be a part of our Career Fair on April 11. If every classroom could secure 1 volunteer, that would be great! Can you please copy and paste the text below and send to your parents who may be interested? We would love to have any type of artist or STEAM professional. Thank you so much!!
We are having Children's Day Buildfest on April 11 from 5:30-7:30 at Coltrane-Webb. That night we will celebrate diversity in STEM and engineering careers. Our event is sponsored by the NC Science Festival, and the theme this year is the arts. If you have a STEM career or are an artist of any type, would you be willing to share your career with us? We are looking for people to set up a small display and tell our students about your profession. Would you be willing to do that for a portion or all of that evening? If so, please let Mrs. Cabaniss know. Email her at lara.cabaniss@cabarrus.k12.nc.us
Children's Day Celebration Updated from Lara's other email :)
Lara's email has all the information you need to know:
April 11 from 5:30-7:30 will be an exciting evening at Coltrane-Webb! We are combining our efforts from last year's Children's Day celebration and NC Science Festival into one grand event called El Dia de los Ninos Buildfest. This will be a night to celebrate diversity in STEM as we enjoy art and engineering projects together. This year's NC Science Festival theme is the arts, and they are sponsoring our event. Please use the link below to sign up for the event you would like to host. All plans and materials will be provided. First-graders will perform that evening as well beginning at 6:45. Let me know if you have questions! Thanks for all you do to make us STEMtastic!
It is expected that all certified staff are present at this event.
Effective Schools Correlates
Most of the PLCs should have made it through the 7 Correlates of Effective Schools by Larry Lezotte.
As we continue our work here at Coltrane-Webb STEM, we will continue to build on the introductions to these correlates.
The goal from March until June is to now review these correlates with Encore teachers and then onto our support staff (teacher assistants, office staff, cafeteria, and custodians).
STAFF SHOUT-OUTS!
Shout-out to Lara, Lance, and Elana. They spent a tremendous amount of time organizing all the pieces to the WeDo 2.0 kits and the new VexIQ robots we are excited about integrating! I know the students and teachers have greatly appreciated that support!
School Safety
- Please review our lock down and black out procedures since we have completed both drills for the year.
