Students in Kindergarten through Fourth grade read the book How to Solve a Problem by Ashima Saraishi in library class at CES. This book talked about rock climbing and how to solve problems. We created our own "climbing critters."




Students in 5th grade have just finished a unit of study about how to use atlases in library class. We traveled to the countries they focused on  using VR glasses! Students stood on glaciers, went to the Eiffel Tower and visited a coffee shop in Helsinki. Thank you to Ms. Cacciatore and Mr. Batschelet for helping to make this wonderful experience happen! 




Universal Preschool Screening is coming up next month! Please see the flyer for details. 


The Agency of Education Special Education Team will be hosting two Parent Information Sessions on Special Education Rule Changes. Please see the flyer for more information. 


Our "K" for Kindness food drive was an enormous success!  Mr. Hackett's kindergarten class donated a total of 127 items!  Every other classroom donated at least 50 items, in recognition of our 50th anniversary at CES.  Castleton Cares Administrative Director, Lyn Petty, who drew the winner for the ice cream party, was overwhelmed by CES's "Kindness!"
