Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Owens at CES have had their fourth graders exploring energy lately! As part of their lessons, they learned how cars and the human body expend energy in very similar ways.
Fittingly, some very special toy vehicles were brought out to tie the lesson together: Hess Trucks! Who remembers playing with those as a kid?
Before..... and after!!! On Friday, Camden Elementary School held a Poetry Celebration to wrap up its PARP (Pick A Reading Partner/Parents As Reading Partners) month!
As part of that event, we revealed who our masked poetry readers were from our month-long video series! Let's see if you guessed correctly!
Unicorn: Taylor Mulvaney
Gorilla: Michelle Williams
Grumpy Cat: Craig Ferretti
Polar Bear: Nicole Poulin
Turkey: Erin Yager
Deer: Kayla Davis
Thanks to our readers for being great sports! Your efforts have helped our students engage with poetry over the past month, and build valuable student confidence in their literacy skills!
As promised, more pictures from last week's Discovery Expo at Camden Elementary! We truly have so many talented and thoughtful students in the CES Cougar family!
Miss Stone's class at CES recently finished their "Cycles in Nature" unit. To wrap it all up, students got to choose a life cycle they learned about and create a poster!
Like its cousin, the McVille Learning Fair, the CES Discovery Expo is not your everyday science fair. Students get to research a topic of their choice, such as the history of Polaris snowmobiles!
Just a few of the many wondrous exhibits at last night's Camden Elementary School Discovery Expo! More pics on the way soon!

It's become a rite of passage at CES. As with Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, or other creatures of legend, our younger learners are fascinated by Leprechauns at this time of year.
In the days leading up to St. Patrick's Day, first grade students use their imagination to come up with elaborate traps to see if they can get a glimpse. And every year, the Leprechauns invade CES, make a mess of first grade, and slip away undetected, despite the brighter and brighter trap ideas employed by our first grade inventors. When they came in today, students saw a few things got moved around, but also found decorations for the holiday!
A full story is coming soon to CamdenSchools.org. While you wait, enjoy these photos of some of our great student projects, and a few reactions from our students!
In the spirit of the holiday, Miss Scheftic's kindergarten class completed a directed drawing of a Leprechaun today!
Our March edition of the "Look at Me, I'm Three!" program was all about Bears!
The group read "Bear Snores On" by Karma Wilson. They learned about hibernation and made "caves" out of paper bags. During the mindfulness portion of the program, our young learners went on a little "bear hunt". As always, the evening also included music from Laurie Berkner and Dr. Jean!
We're excited to see how they're growing as they get closer and closer to their Pre-K eligible year! Information on next month's meeting is coming soon!
At Camden Elementary, Dutch loves to rotate portions of his Pez Collection in the front hallway display case. On display right now is this awesome collection of Mini Pez he has, all the way from Japan! These are typical of the dispensers sold in the country at vending machines or in convenience stores, also referred to as Konbini.
You just might recognize a few characters here!
Happy St. Patrick's Day from Camden Elementary School!

Why Art? There's so many benefits from art education.
This week, 3rd graders from Miss Lis’s Art IFA group created Culture Jars. Students drew at least 8 symbols of things that are important to them. Great job, 3rd graders!
