Congin Cougars love to read! Check out Mrs. Lappin's 1st grade class practicing their buddy reading outside. Students follow the acronym: EEKK which stands for "elbow to elbow, knee to knee."
Our theme for the month of September is "Respect." We kicked off our theme of respect at an assembly at the beginning of the month, and students are now earning "Little Spots of Respect." Whenever a student is caught being respectful, they earn a spot to put on a poster throughout our school. Our goal is to have 500 spots of respect by the end of the month. As of now, we have 378 acts of respect!
Meet our Den Ambassadors for the 2023 school year!
Den Ambassadors are a group of 4th grade students who help support Congin's school and visitors. Each week they will meet with Mr. Bisson during lunch to plan out monthly assemblies, school functions and school themes.
In order to become Den Ambassadors, students had to fill out an application, provide a reference from an adult, and interview with Mr. Bisson! These students came with great ideas to make Congin a better place, and we look forward to seeing all of the work that they do this year!
Congin Cougars are artists! For the month of September, students are learning about the element of lines with the theme of building and architecture from around the world. Here is what each grade level is learning:
Kindergarten: Line Identification and Exploration (creative expression)
1st Grade: Line Identification and Exploration (buildings)
2nd Grade: Line and Shape Identification (mapping and homes)
3rd Grade: Line and Shape Identification (mapping, place, and world geography)
4th Grade: Line and Shape Identification / Drawing from Observation (mapping. place, and world geography through the study of architecture and building design
Check out these kindergarten Cougars from Mrs. Morowski's class. The students read "A Little Respectful Spot" by Diane Alder and then the class discussed ways that they could be kind. Students then created a craft to remind themselves to "BEE Kind!"
Each morning, we have morning announcements projected in every classroom using Google Meets. This month, Mrs. Pecoraro's class has been hosting Mr. Bisson, and every student in the class will have a chance to do the morning announcements with him!
Check out these awesome Cougars who had their first assembly today talking about the theme of respect!
Our 1st and 2nd graders had so much fun on their first day!
