The 6th-grade art classes were recently busy making pipe cleaners & pom pom spiders for Mrs. Weller's 2nd-grade class at Lincoln. These have been put in their Halloween Countdown Haunted House that we made for their class last year. Second-grade students take turns opening a door each day and find a friendly spider with a name and a joke of the day! This corresponds with the spider unit the 2nd grade does every year in October! Mrs. Weller has reported that the students look forward to this event every day! Good job, 6th graders!
Tomorrow is the end of 1st Quarter! It has definitely flown by! Please remember it is an 11:45 Dismissal day.
Good Luck at NCKL Bengal Runners!!! #bengalstrong

This week our Bengal Spotlight Featured PAWS is Mrs. Kosters PAWS! Here is a message from her PAWS...
Hello from Mrs. Koster's PAWS Class! The class wants everyone to know that they have the BEST PAWS teacher in the history of the world! The group is a fun bunch who enjoy starting their day by playing Retro Bowl and checking their email. On Thursdays, the group plays an intense game of Silent Ball. They enjoy using Mrs. Koster's karaoke microphone during challenges to serenade the competition. Their goal this year is to earn Sonic drinks for a prize!

This week's featured Department at CCCMS is our ELA (English Language Arts) Teaching Staff. Our ELA staff works diligently to teach our students all aspects of reading, writing, novel studies, and grammar. In addition, our ELA Department does a variety of State (KITE Testing), and AimsWeb testing during the year. These tests measure our student's growth with reading fluency and comprehension; two skills that are essential for success beyond CCCMS! We appreciate the efforts of our ELA Department! Below is a little bit more about each teacher.
Mrs. Koster has been teaching 6th grade ELA at CCCMS for 4 years. She previously taught 2nd grade in Wakefield and Manhattan. She lives in Clay Center with her husband and 2 children. Mrs. Koster enjoys reading, watching tv, spending time outdoors, and listening to classic country music.
Mrs. Fickes has been teaching at CCCMS for 23 years. She and her husband farm and have cattle. They have a daughter in high school and a grown son. Her hobbies are being outdoors, reading, walking her dogs, and traveling.
Mr. Kelly is in his third year at CCCMS. He lives in Manhattan with his wife and son who is a high school junior. His daughter is enjoying her final year at a college in Chicago, IL. He enjoys reading, movies with his kids, and he misses the cold and snowy winters of upstate NY he had as a child.
We are extremely lucky to have such an amazing group of ELA teachers! Remember Books let you see the world!
Keep your kids reading and our school thriving! Our Book Fair helps you do both. We are open before and after school all week in the Bengal Library! We will also be set up in Common Grounds on Saturday from 9-4 come see us and support our READERS!
Good Luck to our athletes today!! #bengalstrong
