Busy doing Halloween things! My staff and I dressed up as the Zones of Regulation today and over the last couple days we worked on different types of sentences with our pumpkins on a gate and wrote spooky stories today that we got to share with @MonetteStacy

Today we got into some mischief and made some leprechaun traps! Each group was required to incorporate a simple machine into their trap since we've been learning about them. Unfortunately, we didn't trap one but they left us some fun treats! @CMSPrincipal1 @cms_grizzlies

[Katie Mathews @MrsMathewsILC]

So proud of these hard working kids! They definitely deserve the recognition they are receiving!

@jeannercostello @CMSPrincipal1 @cms_grizzlies @AP_Rogalski_CMS It was great to see you too! 🙂

[Katie Mathews @MrsMathewsILC]

We ended our Fun Friday morning meeting with a little dance party in our room today. First full week back deserves a little celebration! @CMSPrincipal1 @cms_grizzlies @AP_Rogalski_CMS #fridayfunday

Another year in the books. I couldn't have done it with these superheroes. Talk about a #DreamTeam (not pictured, but an essential member of the dream team this year was Mr. Kast, substitute extraordinaire) THANK to my fun staff. You're AMAZING! ❤❤ @CMSPrincipal1 @cms_grizzlies

Today was all about the "force". We chose sides, built some lightsabers, and challenged the power of "the force" in an experiment. Fun way to capture May 4th through science! #maythe4thbewithyou @cms_grizzlies @CMSPrincipal1

@Tricia426 @cms_grizzlies Thank YOU for all you ladies do. CMS wouldn't be the same without you. ❤

Came into school this morning for our half day before vacation to find the lockers and doors tagged with kind messages from the Be Nice Club @heritage_34 What a smile it put on my face! Thank you, @principal_olson and the Be Nice Club!!

It's been a while since I attended a middle school dance. I think our 7th and 8th graders had a great time! It was great to see our students having this middle school experience!

Super big THANK YOU to these staff members for their long Friday and helping at tonight’s dance! Your efforts are appreciated! @cms_grizzlies We had so much FUN!

[Katie Mathews @MrsMathewsILC]

Ventured over to the science lab today to investigate magnetism! It was so much fun! @cms_grizzlies @CMSPrincipal1 #cmsgrizzlies

Just finished baking some volcanoes for tomorrow's science experiment! Chemical change- Part one, complete! 🌋

What do you do when it snows? Have a snowball fight! Well, sort of-- we practiced our story writing with a round robin "snowball fight". What a fun and engaging way to get moving, creative, and writing! @CMSPrincipal1 @cms_grizzlies #teamcms

Newest member of the ILC dream team! So excited to have you Brianna!

[BPPrincipalVT Co-Moderator @UnlockTheMiddle @BPPrincipalVT]

CMS welcomes Brianna LaBarge as a new paraprofessional to our already strong TEAM! This is one of the greatest parts of my job-finding new student-friendly talent! Bring the heat, Brianna and welcome to CMS! @cms_grizzlies @UnlockTheMiddle #Education #NewHire #Energy #CMSFamily

Special thanks to @susinmass for coming to our room and sharing a Thanksgiving story by the "fire". What a special treat it was this week! @cms_grizzlies @CMSPrincipal1

[Katie Mathews @MrsMathewsILC]

So much fun learning together! ❤

[Erin Anderson @MrsAndersoncms]

Thank you @Mskgomeslyons7 and @MrsMathewsILC for organizing a Thanksgiving Fact scavenger hunt for us to do together yesterday! Our exploratory students had a great time and even made some new friends! #cooperation #Cmspride @cms_grizzlies

[Katie Mathews @MrsMathewsILC]

What other way would you want fly into Science and review the scientific method, than to do a paper airplane experiment? @CMSPrincipal1 @cms_grizzlies @MrR_cms #engagementmatters #cmspride #makelearningfun

[Katie Mathews @MrsMathewsILC]

This week was about building trust & a good rapport with each of my students. I'm a firm believer in building connections and trust before learning can happen. We played some games today-- little did they know they were doing some math & reading! 😉 @CMSPrincipal1 @cms_grizzlies

[Katie Mathews @MrsMathewsILC]

First day of school was a success! Let me introduce to you the 2021-22 ILC 5/6 Dream Team and some of our cubs coming in with a CMS ROAR! @CMSPrincipal1 @MrR_cms @cms_grizzlies #cmspride #cmsgrizzlies #firstdayofschool

[Katie Mathews @MrsMathewsILC]

@CMSPrincipal1 @cms_grizzlies @Super_DCRSD Way to go, Mr. Davis! So happy for you!! Mason Road is so lucky to have you! You surely will be missed at CMS!
