Weekly Update for 09/26/16

Puzzle Project

Isle of Wight County Schools has begun to implement project based learning.  Teachers across the county participated in 8 days of training this summer presented by teachers from High Tech High in California.  The first grade classes at CAES decided to embark on this new type of learning by launching our first project this fall.  Ask your child about the activities we have been doing with our Puzzle Project.  We will unveil our finished project on Tuesday, October 11 during PTA Open House (6:00-8:00).  Make sure to mark your calendar for this important event. 

Art Projects Online

This is a wonderful resource our new art teacher, Ms. Enyingi is using to display our class' art projects.  Check back each week to view the different pieces of artwork your child has done in art class.
