Ms. Burton's 8th grade Science classes had a blast in their Christmas labs last week! Students were able to make "Reindeer Toothpaste", snowmen, holiday kaleidoscopes and more by initiating the chemical and physical reactions of specific ingredients.

Ms. Maassmann's MS STAR and HS Life Skills classes had the opportunity to listen to Mylene Brandow speak about her 20-plus year career in nursing. Brandow was able to explain the different levels of nursing, educational opportunities locally and abroad and some of her personal experiences.
We had a blast at the CDMS production of "Annie Jr." this past weekend! Thank you to everyone who made this show a success, including our amazing and entertaining scholars!

The Social Studies Literacy After School Program (6th-8th grade) hosted Bronck Museum Curator Shelby Mattice on Dec. 6. Mrs. Mattice taught our scholars what winter living was like during the 1600s and 1700s. She brought artifacts to share including a cattail candlestick, lantern, and beeswax.
On Dec. 8, students played a life-sized board game based on her visit. Students rolled the dice and landed on real 18th century scenarios. Students had to periodically reflect on their journeys in their journals.
In discussion and writing it became very evident that although a more simple time, life was challenging in many ways. Compared to back then, we have a lot more technology to help us in our every day lives.
Great job, students!
