The 5th graders worked incredibly hard to complete their unit on Earth’s Systems. They designed and built detailed dioramas that thoughtfully showcase all four of Earth’s spheres—the hydrosphere, geosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere—and how they interact with one another. We are excited to share that these outstanding, winning projects will be proudly displayed in the CMS Library for the next few weeks for others to enjoy and learn from.
🌈🎩Happy (belated) St. Patrick’s Day from Columbus Middle School! Some of the adults had fun dressing up and matching with one another. Lots of students also dressed up to show their spirit. 🍀💰
📢 Our 6th grade Discoverers had a fun time at Discoverer Buck Rewards. They played dodgeball today. We hope our 6th grade Discoverers had the best time playing dodgeball.
