We sure had a blast today at this morning's CDES Turkey Trot! Take a look at Miss Pollard fully embracing the festivities!




Last week students at CDE were awarded positive referrals for the traits of bravery and gratitude. Congratulations to our courageous and grateful students! You are a great example of #positivityinaction




In Mrs. Rath's 4th grade science class, students have been exploring the ever-changing Earth by creating models of the Earth's layers, identifying the tectonic plates and the "Ring of Fire".
Additionally, the scholars examined many different types of rocks, and experimented to determine how metamorphic rock is created.




CDES is hosting its first-ever Turkey Trot for students and staff on Tuesday, Nov. 22! Parents/Guardians, please be sure to send your student(s) into school with sneakers and athletic clothing!

Check out the creative work in Ms. Kuhn's 4th Grade class as students elaborately built "longhouses" out of construction paper and their desks. The landscape included rivers, mountains and land in between, as well as families and a fire for warmth inside. Great job, students!




Happy International Students Day to all of our amazing scholars at Cairo-Durham CSD! We are so grateful for you and enjoy watching you shine!

Sarah Hasbrook, Cairo-Durham Elementary School's Resource Room teacher, collaborated with Miss Wagor's class to teach an OG(Orton-Gillingham) lesson.
Two of Miss Wagor's students, Jaxon and Anthony, see Mrs. Hasbrook daily to work on phonics skills. This time, these two students became the co-teachers and had the opportunity to teach their class what they have learned so far this year! Way to go, Jaxon and Anthony!
