More winners from the Elementary Kindness Week rock paper scissors contest! 🪨📝✂️ #KindnessWeek

2nd & 5th grade Reading Buddies! 📖 2nd graders picked a book to read with their 5th grade reading partner, and they discussed setting, theme, and characters. They took turns reading to each other, reinforcing reading and comprehension skills!

Seniors were visited by Stacy Stremlow (Coleman grad!) with the Midland Area Community Foundation this week. Stacy discussed the MACF Scholarship Application with students, including how the one application can connect them with 250 scholarships available to Midland Area students, and then all Seniors began completing the application with assistance from Stacy and Mrs. Smalley. #LEADLikeAComet #ColemanCometPride

We love to see students "digging" math! 6th graders used scales and calipers to measure narcissus bulbs. 🌼 They also recorded air and ground temperatures before planting. They will record the air and ground temperature monthly all winter long until they see evidence of sprouting.

Last Sunday, 42 band students attended the MSU Spartan Spectacular, enjoying an afternoon of music from the MSU Wind Symphony and the MSU Marching Band.

Ms. Ardouin's class joined Mr. Frisbee from Chippewa Nature Center and created landscapes with mountains, trees, and whatever else they could think of. Then, they added water to see how the different spheres affect each other!

Last week, 6th graders researched a state and created a Google Slide presentation. Students then learned how to use a rubric to rate their speaking abilities. #LEADLikeAComet through Academics!

Thank you to Crumbl Cookie for donating cookies to all of our Juniors and Seniors on Monday, they really enjoyed it! 🍪

Elementary families - get excited about Leadership Night, coming up on Thursday!!! 🌕👨‍🚀 Don't miss out on this opportunity to celebrate our student leaders and have fun! #LEADLikeAComet

It's important for your kiddos to attend school as much as possible! Striving for fewer than 5 absences a year will keep them academically on track, build stronger social connections, and establish good routine and habits. #StriveForFewerThan5

11th and 12th grade students were invited to a college and career fair at CMU in October. Students had the opportunity to visit with college and career reps and learn more about postsecondary offerings. Students also got to go on a tour of campus and eat lunch in one of the dining halls on campus. We had a very large group of students in attendance to this event - way to show up, Comets! #LEADLikeAComet
