CMS Learning Symposium

Thank you to Colchester Middle School for inviting us to come to their Learning Symposium.  We loved checking out all the cool projects that the CMS students have been working on for months. What a great way for us to get really excited about all we have to look forward to next year!

Starbase!

Our first visit to Starbase was a huge success! The students began the day in the computer lab designing their own space station parts using CAD. The afternoon was spent designing a safety restraint for an egg on a crash course for a moon that orbits Mars. They even had to stay within budget while creating their prototype. Of course, each prototype was tested! We can't wait to go back next week!

Clear Two Liter Bottles Needed

We are beginning our Ecosystem unit in science this week. We are in need of many plastic two liter bottles for this unit. They must be clear (as opposed to green), and the straight sided ones are preferred over the style that curve in the middle. Please send in as many as you can as soon as you can. Thanks so much!!
