Summer school is off and running, and the kids, Ms. Smith, and I are having a blast. They are learning math, reading, and handwriting skills along with extension projects. Here is a peek at their egg drop contraptions and volcanoes.
NOTICE: The Cotopaxi School's water controller conducted scheduled maintenance on the school's water plant on June 5th, 2023. All facilities continue to function and remain accessible.
High school art students spent the last week of school repainting Veterans Rock outside the main gym.
Kindergarten and First grade recently went to Shepperly Farms Petting zoo in Canon City, where they got to pet and feed the animals. They also enjoyed helping to brush and snuggle them. They finished off the day by heading to Duck Park for lunch and some play time!!
First graders finished the year of with measurement. They learned how to measure object's with different units. the also practice making sure the objects were lined up properly to get the correct measurement.
Stomp Rockets!!! Sixth graders each built a stomp rocket to launch. During the launch two teams of students tracked the rockets height and measured the angle from the ground at maximum height. They used a spotter they made with a protractor to measure the angle. After everyone launched, each student used the angles from the two teams to create a scale drawing. From the scale drawing they were able to calculate the height of their rocket. Much learning and a good time was had by all.
