Mrs. Cline had Mrs. Beabout's Algebra class busy today. The students were challenged to build and were only able to use index cards. The cards could not be bent or torn in any way, and students were not allowed to communicate verbally, by drawing, or by writing. I think they nailed it! #CMSCUSD1

CMS students worked hard during IAR this week. They celebrated their week with a dance at the end of the day. Students earned a ticket to the dance for their hard work, and good behavior. Each student's ticket made them eligible for a $25 Walmart gift card. The winners of these gift cards were:
Aubrey Stewart - 7 Red
Sidney Furry - 8 Gold
Jaylee Livingston - 8 Red
