Student's in Mrs. Wilkerson's class have been delighting in the process of learning their classmates' names through the engaging "Busy, Busy, Bumblebee" name game. Each student takes turns holding the fuzzy bee while patting their legs and singing "Busy, Busy Bumblebee, won't you say your name for me?"

Students in Mrs. Reynold's class are engaging in center-based learning activities. Each center features a variety of tasks, including mathematics, writing, and foundational literacy skills. This approach not only facilitates academic learning but also encourages socialization and sharing among peers. Throughout the day, students rotate through each center, diligently working and expanding their knowledge.

Tuesday night, the CCISD Board of Trustees approved a policy regarding cell phones and other personal communication devices, in alignment with House Bill 1481. We are encouraging students to put their devices "Away for the Day," to focus on learning.

Graphic with image of smart phone and CCISD logo. Away for the Day. Turn off cell phones, headphones, personal laptops, personal tablets, smart watches. Turn on learning and focus.
Graphic with image of smart phone and CCISD logo. What is Away for the Day? The goal of Away for the Day, in alignment with House Bill 1481, is to improve learning focus and support a positive, respectful school environment for all students and staff. Away for the Day means that students’ personal devices - cell phones, text-messaging devices, tablets, computers, headphones, earbuds, smart watches and other simlar electronics - must be powered off and out of sight during all parts of the school day, from the time students enter the school until they exit at the end of the day. This includes class time, transitions, breakfast or lunch on campus and restroom breaks.
