Students in Mrs. Barrett's first grade class are working in Number Corner on a number path exercise and challenging themselves to solve different ways to get to the number 121 using both adding and subtracting.
Number Corner is a skill-building program revolving around the classroom calendar and features short daily workouts that introduce, reinforce, and extend skills and concepts related to the critical areas of study at each grade level. New pieces are added to the display each day, providing starting points for discussions, problem solving, and short written exercises.
Some of the elements in Number Corner include: calendar grid, calendar collector, computational fluency, number line, number path, days in schools, daily rectangle, problem stings and solving problems. Number Corner is one element of our K-5 Bridges Math Curriculum.
Students in Mr. Fraker's Pre-calculus course have been applying the strategies from Peter Liljedhal's latest book, Building Thinking Classrooms. Several teachers in the district are participating in a book study to learn and discuss the 14 practices outlined through the author's research.
Pictured, students are working on thinking tasks (practice 1) using vertical non-permanent surfaces stationed around the room (practice 3) and Mr. Fraker is using the strategy of answering only keep thinking questions (practice 5). Students were first introduced to this style of collaborative learning and problem solving while preparing for the upcoming ACT. Now, these students are applying the strategies to work on difficult problems that can have more than one correct way to find a solution.

Students in fifth grade are working with Deputy Elliott to make good decisions as modeled through the D.A.R.E. program. D.A.R.E. is an acronym for Drug Abuse Resistance Education which began in Los Angeles, California.
Students in Clark County have been engaged with the DARE program since 1988. The program has expanded to not only teach students about drug abuse resistance education, but also good decision making skills that include how to define, assess, respond and evaluate a variety of difficult situations.
In this lesson, students were learning three ways to communicate and the best being confident communication. The student pictured was playing the role of a newly licensed driver who was not driving safely in a crosswalk area and was being pulled over.
Thank you Clark County Sheriff's Office and Deputy Elliott for providing this essential information to our students.
Congratulations to our very own, Mrs. Melissa Elfers, high school librarian, for receiving the New Carlisle Rotary Support Staff Employee of the Year!
