The CCHS Esports team had a strong showing at a recent tournament in Reno and achieved impressive results. The Marvel Rivals placed third, Mario Kart took first, and Super Smash Bros finished ninth. In addition to their wins, the team also earned a few hundred dollars in prize money. The CCHS Esports team’s dedication is paying off. Esports teacher Aaron Holt appreciates everything the high school administration does for their program and others at CCHS. “I want to thank them for all of their support and hard work keeping our programs and our school running smoothly,” Holt said.

Last week, students in Kailyn Simpson’s math classes creatively applied their geometry skills by constructing a building from fiction. Using real-world building dimensions, they estimated measurements and calculated the surface area and volume by breaking their structures into geometric 3D solids. Students designed structures such as the Teen Titans Tower and a medieval magical castle in preparation for SBAC testing. “I am always looking for ways to make math both fun and engaging, and this project really allowed my student to transform mathematical formulas into an exciting challenge. The creative aspect definitely added more excitement to this assignment,” Simpson said. Photo:  Hadley Dooley made a medieval castle explaining the math used in her model.

Last week, students in Glenda Lee’s class took advantage of the warm weather and moved their learning outdoors. They got creative with their math lessons by designing their own games, including fraction hopscotch game and fraction pizza. The outdoor learning environment made the lesson more engaging and fun for students.Photo: Lee’s class plays games using fractions.

Last week in the Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI) room, students worked on breaking words into syllables, looking for patterns, building comprehension, and writing complete sentences. “We service about 60 kids at a time. As of now, we have graduated 41 kids,” Literacy Specialist Linda Rasmussen said. In the LLI room, students struggling with reading can receive targeted instruction, working through leveled readers and focusing on specific literacy skills. “We love reading and so do our students,” Rasmussen said.

Students in Rhonda Maynes’ class spent last week learning about birds. They read a fiction book about a little bird searching for the perfect place to bathe and a nonfiction book filled with bird facts. Students expanded their vocabulary, practiced retelling stories, and wrote sentences about what birds can do, have, and are. They also used their imaginations and talked about what life would be like if they were birds. To wrap up, students created bird-themed watercolor paintings, bringing their learning to life on paper.
