Mrs. Halstrom & Mrs. Busti’s first graders were eager to make bread for the Thanksgiving feast! Students added several ingredients and were able to watch the bread bake in the bread machine! The four loaves of bread were then shared amongst all of the first grade during a Thanksgiving feast!
On Nov. 21, Ms. Flubacher's 5th grade class had a Thanksgiving Feast!
Students played Thanksgiving Bingo and were served a Thanksgiving Feast! The class shared what they were grateful for, their Thanksgiving traditions, and sat together as a class family. These types of activities not only celebrate the holiday, but also contribute to building a positive and supportive classroom environment.
From all of us at Cairo-Durham Central School District to you, Happy Thanksgiving! Pictured here are our bright students at Cairo-Durham Elementary School following the annual Turkey Trot!
The Cairo-Durham Central School District would like to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving! We are thankful for you!
We will see you again on Monday, Nov. 27.

The Thompson/Lopez and Whitbeck/Lopez classes worked for several weeks to prepare a special surprise party for Deputy Espel and Mac to show their gratitude for them.
The students have been learning about and practicing gratitude for two weeks as part of the Positivity Project.
The students made cards and/or letters and read them to Deputy Espel and Mac. They also made a large card that was presented by Natalie G. The students worked together to assemble a special "Mac Pack" for Mac as well! This personalized backpack was filled with toys, a personalized dog bowl, treats and grooming tools and presented by Milleth C. The students also presented Deput Espel and Mac with an all natural dog cake that they decorated themselves!
Deputy Espel and Mac are so appreciated for all they do to keep the students and staff safe everyday. They always make everyone in the building feel happier!
An awesome job by our Cairo-Durham Elementary School students and staff for their participation and creativity in last week's Spirit Week sponsored by the Student Council!

The Thompson/Lopez and Whitbeck/Lopez classes surprised Cairo-Durham Elementary music teacher Mrs. Seymour with a special rendition of "Happy Birthday" last week!
As a Thanksgiving-themed project focusing on inferencing, students in Ms. Wagor's class employed riddles to make inferences, linking text with their background knowledge.
The class transformed their turkeys into various representations—cartoon characters, objects, professions, or famous figures—to safeguard them from being part of a Thanksgiving dinner!
During a gallery walk, students guessed each other's disguised turkeys, employing their inference skills without directly seeing the turkeys drawn by their classmates. Great job, class!
Our 4th-grade explorers embarked on an incredible journey exploring Earth's geological history!
They had the pleasure of meeting Amanda from Greene County Soil and Water Conservation District. Together, they delved into the fascinating realms of weathering, erosion, and topography, uncovering the secrets of our local landscape formed over millions of years.
With an Augmented Reality Sandbox as their tool, they witnessed the mesmerizing movement of water across various terrains, experiencing nature's wonders firsthand. Amanda also introduced them to the captivating science behind watersheds, igniting a newfound curiosity about our environment's intricate mechanisms.
This exciting adventure has equipped our young learners with a deeper understanding of the forces shaping our world!
