Supply Box Information
Hello CCE family,
Every year the PTO offers pre-made school supply boxes that can be purchased for the next school year. Since times have changed and we cannot continue to collect order forms or payments like we usually do, we have created a website for school supply boxes to be ordered and payed for online.
Those of you that ordered boxes at Kindergarten round up or sent in orders prior to the close of school, I have your forms and payments. I will process them with the online orders.
Boxes will still be shipped to school and the PTO will disperse them to the classrooms for the students to get at Welcome Back Night. Kindergarten boxes will need to be picked up at Welcome Back Night since students will not be assigned to a particular classroom at that time.
Please go to https://cceptoschoolboxes.square.site to order.
Deadline is June 5, 2020.
Thank you for your patience with us during this time,
Jennifer Hansen
CCE PTO President

Create a chain reaction! Watch the video I posted on YouTube of my son and I launching a Rube Goldberg Machine. A Rube Goldberg Machine is a series of simple machines that link together to make a very complicated series of events. This was not easy! It took us at least 27 tries!
K-2: Try and put a few toys into action and create a chain reaction with at least 3 steps.

K-5: Build your own Rube Goldberg Machine. Think about how the energy is converted one from object to another so each step in your machine is valuable. I included another video for inspiration. Number 1 rule: Don't Give Up!!!

Letter from the Library
Dear Eagles,
Another Friday apart...it doesn’t get any easier on my heart. Know that you are loved. Know that you are missed. Know that I can’t wait to lay my eyes on your sweet faces as soon as I possibly can!
Until then, enjoy another weekly read aloud filmed with you and your families...and FOOD...in mind! :) I’ve also included a link that features a few more chapter book recommendations from yours truly. And because I love a good theme...I stuck with the idea of food when choosing these titles, too.

Don’t hesitate to drop me an email to let me know if you enjoyed the book or have questions about something you’ve read or would like to read next. I would LOVE to hear from you!
Happy Reading!
