Mrs. Marble's pre-K class spent all day celebrating our beautiful Earth today for Earth Day. They started by making a tissue paper "love" globe project to decorate the hallway outside of their classroom.
The students then spent part of their recess spreading flower seeds and bird seed around to help the animals and plants on our school grounds, as well as picking up trash they found around the campus.
For stations the students made Earth Day crowns to wear and water colored Earths. They also spent time talking about how we can keep our Earth clean and healthy by being mindful of pollution, overuse of resources and our impact on our surroundings.
The pre-K class finished their day by sending home planted grass that they have been caring the last few weeks, so that they can share their experiences with the process at home.

In honor of Earth Day, Mrs. Shoudy's seventh grade Family and Consumers Sciences class visited Mrs. Hudak’s class at Chenango Forks Elementary. The middle school students helped their pre-K buddies plant grass, and they even enjoyed some time together playing on the playground!

Recently our elementary PE teachers, Mr. Flannery, Mr. McMullen and Mr. Paske, led a Strider Bike Unit for our PreK, kindergarten and first grade students. This balance first program helps young learners build coordination, stability, and essential gross motor skills before progressing to pedaling, making bike riding accessible and confidence building for all students. The students have been loving the experience, and we truly appreciate our PE teachers' efforts in bringing this opportunity to them.
Second grade students at CFE recently had a wonderful hands-on learning experience through an Agriculture in the Classroom literacy lesson which focused on seasons on the farm. With the help of high school agriculture students and Mrs. Linnea Depue, students explored how each season brings important changes that impact plants, animals, and daily life on a farm.
They planted their own seeds and learned what living things need to grow and thrive throughout the year. In the classroom, to bring their learning to life, students also designed creative “seasons wheels,” showing how farms change from season to season.
Thank you Cornell Cooperative Extension-Broome County for this engaging lesson, which connected literacy and science, in honor of Ag Literacy Week, and gifting the CFE library with the book "Seasons on the Farm" by Chelsea Tornetto and illustrated by Karen Bunting.

Unfortuatley due to lack of ticket sales we have had to cancel the Donkey Basketball event previous scheduled for this Saturday, March 7.
During the month of February, CFE's second grader students enjoyed a unique and hands-on Agriculture in the Classroom experience that blended creativity, kindness, and learning! Students explored how vegetables grow and are used in ways other than eating by creating veggie valentines using okra and beets. These colorful creations were then shared as a small act of kindness, designed to bring a smile and spread cheer to someone else.
It was a fun and meaningful way for students to connect agriculture, art, and compassion, all while learning that even vegetables can help make someone’s day a little brighter.

Thank you to Mrs. Saroka's class for leading our Rise and Shine Assembly today for students in PreK- 2nd grade. The focus of this assembly was on how students can be proactive.
We also had a special guest visitor today at our Rise and Shine assembly. Our iReady mascot, Snarg came today to help recognize students in kindergarten, first, and second grade who have met or exceeded their goal on their iReady Math diagnostic assessment. Students take this assessment three times per year, and students have set a goal for improving their performance each time. We can't wait to see their growth after their next assessment!

Last week, Chenango Forks Elementary pre-K, kindergarten and second grade students celebrated the 100th day of school, while our first grade students celebrated the 101st day of school. During these celebrations, students rotated from class to class, participating in a variety of fun learning activities. Some of the students even dressed as though they were 100 years old. Students had a great time celebrating this school year milestone!
