Looking back...
Ms. Bahnaman’s class teamed up with their 4th grade buddies from Mrs. Sabatini’s class for some Thanksgiving fun!
Today we are thankful for our school family and the memories we make at our Cardinal Connection Convocations.
Farmers (in the green) have been trying to stop the turkeys from getting the food all week long. It is a great way to bring in Thanksgiving. We talk about what Thanksgiving is about and what foods we may eat for dinner that day. We also talk about our family traditions.
Miss Rodriguez’s fourth-grade class brought Earth's history to life by creating 3-D dioramas of rock layers. This hands-on project helped students explore patterns in rock formations and fossils, supporting their understanding of how landscapes change over time 🦖
From Mrs. Lucero:

From out librarian, Mrs. Collins:
Students from Miss Marchal's class celebrate good behavior by participating in STEM activities during library time.

From our librarian, Mrs. Collins:
Students in Mr. Zvers's class work together to research an animal by utilizing non-fiction books found in our library. This activity promotes teamwork and allows students to distinguish fact from fiction. Students will share their findings with the class and present a custom-made poster.
Columbia teachers are having a blast participating in an underground spirit week! Today was "anything but a cup"!
Mr. Maggart is the winner of a $500 grant from the Indiana Retired Teachers Association! Congratulations Mr. Maggart!
Everyday is a good day to be a Columbia Cardinal. Happy Friday!
Do you ever wish you could enjoy a kid-free Saturday night to go out for dinner or do some Christmas shopping? The PTO is providing you with the perfect opportunity! You will find this flyer in your child's backpack tonight. Please complete it and return it to school with your child as soon as possible to reserve your spot!
Happy World Kindness Day!
We began a new initiative at school today. There are large letters (C.E.S.) displayed in the hallway. We will use these letters to create our 'kindness tree,' a visual representation of the kindness we all share. At CES, students and teacher will be adding their school photo to large letters as they witness acts of kindness.
THE BIG IDEA: We are all in this together. Kindness exists within us all. We must constantly retrain our brains to focus on the positive in a world where it is all too easy to focus on the negatives. Showcasing the number of intentional acts of kindness from members of our school family will inspire us all to do more!
