This week, Ms. Harvey's students stopped by for a "book tasting" — and the challenge was simple: judge a book by its cover! 👀✨
Using only the title, cover art, colors, images, and genre clues, students had to predict what each story might be about before ever opening the pages. 🕵️♀️📖
It's amazing to see young readers practice inference, build curiosity, and get excited to dive into new stories! 🔍💭📗

Mrs. Mills' 6th grade class traded their usual ELA routine for something a little more delicious — a "Book Tasting"! 🍽️📖
Students visited the CFMS library for a hands-on introduction to everything it has to offer, then sat down to "sample" a variety of genres, from mystery and fantasy to graphic novels and nonfiction. Each table was set with books of a different genre, giving students the chance to explore titles and genres they might normally scroll right past.
Here's to raising a generation of readers who know there's a whole menu of stories waiting for them! Thank you Ms. Sova🥳

On September 11, 2001, thousands of lives were lost, families were forever changed, and first responders answered an unimaginable call.
Today, Pender County Schools pauses to remember those who died, honor those who served and sacrificed in the years that followed, and recognize the families and communities who continue to carry the impact of that day.
For our students, September 11 is history. It is our responsibility to help them understand why we remember.
🇺🇸 We will never forget.

Tomorrow marks the 25th anniversary of September 11th. In remembrance of this solemn day, we are asking our students to consider wearing red, white, and blue 🔴⚪🔵 to show unity and remember those we lost.
