This week, Mrs. Doolittle’s CFHS art students visited Mrs. Sickler's classroom at CFE for a special project. First-grade students had recently created drawings of their own unique monsters. To bring their creations to life, the high school art students transformed these drawings into ceramic versions of each creature.
During the visit, the ceramic pieces were presented to the first graders, who were very excited to see the final result! This was a fun and memorable experience for all of the students.
a Journée de la Francophonie at SUNY Albany was a blast for Madame Ramsden's college-level French students! The day kicked off with an exciting chasse au trésor (treasure hunt) around the SUNY Albany campus, helping everyone to get familiar with the grounds. Next, students donned their dancing shoes for a vibrant music and dance workshop, learning moves from French-speaking countries like France, Canada, and Senegal. After a delicious lunch, the fun continued with engaging conversations with native French speakers from Belgium, the Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Morocco, Quebec, Mali, Togo, and Haiti. The students had an amazing time immersing themselves in diverse cultures while practicing their French skills!

After reading "The Wild Robot" by Peter Brown, students in Mrs. Collier’s fourth grade class were inspired to creatively design and build a variety of projects. From board games to robots to watercolor paintings, each project was inspired by the unique characters and rich setting of the story.
When learning that the second graders in Mrs. Masters’ second grade class had also read the book, Mrs. Collier’s class welcomed them in to see the projects, providing a similar experience to visiting a museum. The second graders were all smiles as they learned about each project!
