Carroll Middle School Knights Off<br />
to a Great Start<br />
Students participate in<br />
school events at Carroll<br />
Middle School<br />
The fresh crop <strong>of</strong> 5 th grade Carroll <br />
Middle School Knights is <strong>of</strong>f to a great <br />
start as teachers use projects, <br />
ac;vi;es, and innova;ve learning <br />
strategies to help them grow in their <br />
social, emo;onal, and academic <br />
abili;es. The year is <strong>of</strong>f to a posi;ve <br />
start with students reading The Best <br />
School Year Ever by Barbara Robinson <br />
and learning to understand characters <br />
and conflict in Language Arts. Social <br />
Studies classes are stepping back in <br />
;me and researching the similari;es <br />
and differences <strong>of</strong> early colonies in the <br />
United States. Scenes <strong>of</strong> life during <br />
colonial ;mes are being showcased in <br />
“Paper-‐Plate-‐o-‐Ramas”.<br />
Science students are examining and <br />
discussing ecosystems and biomes and <br />
<br />
synthesizing their new knowledge by <br />
crea;ng “Biomes in a Box.” In the <br />
Carroll Middle math department <br />
things are never square—actually, <br />
they are anything but! Triangles, <br />
polygons, and hexagons are filling <br />
students’ notebooks and minds as well <br />
as the walls <strong>of</strong> the 5 th grade halls. If <br />
you come to our wing be ready to see <br />
art work and representa;ons <strong>of</strong> <br />
mathema;cal shapes, sketches <strong>of</strong> <br />
characters like Imogene and Gladys, <br />
and brochures depic;ng various <br />
biomes. However, what you won’t find <br />
hanging around are 5 th grade Knights<br />
—they’re too busy having fun learning <br />
that they can’t slow down long <br />
enough! <br />
L. Gilbert Carroll Middle School has <br />
been busy, busy, busy. What a fun <br />
and wonderful year it has been with <br />
the implementa;on <strong>of</strong> PBIS. We are <br />
doing monthly recogni;ons <strong>of</strong> our <br />
Noble Knights and Crown Jewels <strong>of</strong> <br />
CMS (staff <strong>of</strong> the month). Every <br />
Monday and Friday students are <br />
recognized for “Ye Royal Acts <strong>of</strong> <br />
Kindness” and “Ye Royal Bus Riders”. <br />
There was a great turn out for <br />
Swee_rog Night and Zaxby’s Night. <br />
What great fun. December 13 th was <br />
the CMS Holiday Concert. Our <br />
students and staff have worked very <br />
hard in prepara;on for the concert <br />
and all their efforts were evident and <br />
appreciated. <br />
