📚🐺 Learning, Growing, and Thinking Critically at CMS! Ms. Mayfield’s 6th Grade ELA students wrapped up their Yellow Fever unit with a hands-on learning activity, creating test tubes of Jell-O and Nerd Clusters to represent Bacillus icteroides, a historical, disproven bacterial theory about the cause of yellow fever! Throughout this unit, students went beyond simply reading passages. They developed the skills of thoughtful, engaged, and critical readers by asking questions, analyzing details, collecting text evidence, evaluating the credibility of information, and using clues to form and support their own ideas. As students explored the mysteries of Yellow Fever, they learned that strong readers look deeper, question information, examine evidence, and consider how new discoveries can support or challenge existing ideas. These learning experiences help students make meaningful connections, participate in collaborative discussions, solve problems, and confidently explain how and why they think the way they do. At CISD, we’re growing readers who don’t just read the words on the page, they question, analyze, make connections, and think critically about what they read! 🌱📖

🎶 A Beautiful Day of Music for the Wolf Tones! 🎶 Last Friday, the Wolf Tones Honor Choir traveled to Abilene for a special performance by the Abilene Philharmonic, accompanied by ACE staff members Felshá Biggers, Linda Molina, Amor Read, and Zane Wood. The performance was a wonderful experience for our students, with some sharing that the music was so moving it brought them to tears! ❤️ After the concert, the group enjoyed a delicious lunch at Blue Sky, making a memorable day even sweeter. A special thank-you to our ACE Program for joining our students and generously funding this experience. Opportunities like these allow students to experience the arts in meaningful and unforgettable ways. 🎶 Way to go, Wolf Tones!
