Good News From
CMS
Dear
Parents/Guardians:
Between mid-November and late January, Dr. Bill Roweton will
access Mr. Hastings 6
th grade math classes through remote video and
audio equipment.
The sole intent is to
enrich students enrolled in Educational Psychology, a course that Dr. Roweton
teaches as part of CSC’s teacher education program.
Participating CSC teacher education students
will work on observational skills, that is, “seeing” dimensions of the
classroom context and student and teacher behaviors, all of which affect
student achievement.
If you have
procedural questions about the project, please contact Bill Roweton (432-5307
or
wroweton@csc.edu) or Mr. Dressel
(432-0708 or
nichlas.dressel@chadronschools.net)

8th grade students from Mrs. Kaus' 4th period social studies
class paid tribute to our nations veterans at the annual Veterans Day Program
on November 11th. The students did a wonderful job of putting
together the program and playing the role of Masters of Ceremony. The
keynote speaker was Sgt. First Class Shawn Banzaff of the United States Army
National Guard. His message highlighted
the need to continue to honor and respect our Nation's veterans as well as
those who are currently serving in the armed forces. He also talked about
the humility that veterans display when they come back from war. Thank you to Mrs. Kaus and the students from her
4th period class that organized the event for all of the hard work that they
put into the Veteran's Day program; they did a fantastic job! Thank you
to Sgt. Banzhaff for his excellent keynote address. And, especially,
thank you to all of our Nation's veterans for their service and sacrifice.
7th and 8th grade students attended
the Chardron High School One Act Play production of Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus during 9th period
on November 22nd. Thank you to
Mrs. Paopao for allowing our middle school students to enjoy their production.
