The students in Mrs. Rice’s and Mrs. Lopez’s class went camping on June 16!
First, they worked as a team to create a giant tent. Then they created and told camping stories, poems, jokes, and recipes around a fire! As night settled in, everyone listened to and identified forest night sounds. Bears, peepers, bullfrogs, coyotes and more! Did you know that deer snort? They do! Finally, the class made s’mores! Mr. Stein joined the students around the fire and listed to their creations!
It was a great day and night at Camp Rice/Lopez!

Ms. Flubacher's 5th grade class participated Genius Hour Projects for an end-of-year activity. This is the students' time to be a teacher for the day by researching a topic of their choosing and interest, but must be approved first!
The class practiced taking notes and researching information pertaining to their topics. Once they researched, students then needed to put together a presentation (Google Slides, a website, poster, etc.).
On the day of the presentation, the students had to teach their classmates about their topic with a 15-minute lesson and an activity for the class to complete at the end to see what they learned from the presentation!
Students enjoyed taking ownership of their learning and sharing their interests with the class! Topics included gardening, various animals, dirt bikes, how to speak Spanish and many more!

The students in Mrs. Lopez's and Mrs. Rice's Class showed their appreciation to the amazing kitchen staff at Cairo Durham Elementary School on June 14!
The students hand delivered invitations to each member of the kitchen staff a week in advance and then prepared a wonderful luncheon for them.
The students set the table with charger plates, linens, napkin rings, handmade place cards and flowers. They prepared and served baked ziti, tossed salad, garlic bread and fruit. Soda, juice, and three different desserts were also available.
Mrs. Lopez, Mrs. Rice, and all of the students truly appreciate the dedication and kindness the kitchen staff display each day to everyone at CDE.

On June 12, Mrs. Lopez's and Mrs. Rice's 3rd grade class celebrated Donut Day by learning marketing strategies and pitching new food ideas. Students then worked with partners to develop a new donut for Dunkin' Donuts. Each group was tasked with creating a unique donut, describing it in detail, naming it, drawing it, and pitching why their donut was so special and would be a top seller.
After presenting their creations to the class, students walked to Dunkin' Donuts and pitched their ideas to the management team. The team then provided 2 dozen donuts for the students to enjoy!
All of the students' unique creations/posters are on display at the Dunkin' Donuts on Main Street in Cairo. Here are some of the extraordinary ideas!
-Cold Cream
-Doggie Delicious
-Blue Raspberry Ocean Breeze
-Rainbow Road
-Super Chocolate Volcano
-Coffee Surprise
-Cookies and Cream Catastrophe
A very special thank you to the Dunkin' Donuts Management Team, Liz D., John H. and Danny P., for their collaboration on this educational, fun project and for providing the students with so many delicious donuts! An additional thank you goes to Mrs. Diamond and Mrs. Rozzie for accompanying the class on our trip.

Ms. Rice's class has been studying fairy tales in reading and writing class. Yesterday, students read and watched the fairytale, Cinderella. They learned there were a couple of different versions of the story Cinderella. Students compared and contrasted the fairy tale books to the Disney movie and then completed a STEM activity.
Students worked in small groups to create Cinderella's pumpkin carriage. Their main objective was to use given materials and use their critical thinking skills to turn those materials into a carriage that rolls. They had full creativity with limited rules. These pictures show the students creating and working on the carriages in their small groups. Way to go, students!

Take a look at Miss Wagor's 5th Grade class at CDES completing their Must Do/May Do assignments during Math!
Students have a list of assignments/activities they MUST complete by the end of this week. When they complete them, they MAY do any of the fun, educational options listed!
While this is occurring, Miss Wagor pulls small groups to teach the current standard. This allows for personal, differentiated instruction based on student ability! The Must Do/May Do models allows students to strengthen their time management skills, take ownership of their work and demonstrate independence. Way to go students!

PICS: A special treat for our Cairo-Durham Elementary School students as they were able to see a helicopter land on the soccer field! All students had the opportunity to look inside and speak with professionals representing Life Net through Albany Medical Center!
