Reading Projects

Third-grade students in the blue class are completing a nonfiction unit with Mrs. Melissa Cardinal. Students were required to read a nonfiction book from the “Who is? What was?” series. While reading, students took notes and completed an AR test. Now, students are creating a bottle buddy based on what book they read. The project will end with students turning in a final written report.

Students Compete In Math Competitions

Middle school students are putting their math skills to the test.  In February, 12 fifth- and sixth-graders competed in the Greater Cleveland Council of Teachers of Mathematics (GCCTM) problem solving competition.

Sixth-grade participants were Emma G., Lily K., Anna L., Alli B., Ryan N., Nicco G., Jackson P. and Jamie M., and fifth-graders included Mitchell M., Carter S., RJ F. and Aiden M. Students did a great job earning two red ribbons and one blue ribbon.

Then, on March 10, Cardinal Middle School hosted the annual seventh- and eighth-grade GCCTM tournament where 525 students from 40 different schools competed at six different sites in the Greater Cleveland area. At the Cardinal Middle School host site, 14 teams of seventh-graders and nine teams of eighth-graders from three different schools including CMS participated in four rounds of math competition. CMS had four seventh-grade teams and four eighth-grade teams participate in the contest.

The seventh-grade teams included Audrey A., Sabrina C., Ethan D., Ana F., Ava G., Troy H., Nathan L., Tim M., Hennessy M., Cassie N., Jenna O. and Owen V. One seventh-grade team earned medals and three teams earned blue ribbons.

The eighth-grade teams included John A., Justin B., Chloe D., Stevie H., Lorelei H., Anthony L., Milanie M., Olivia O., Mia P., Brenden S., Colby T. and Edward Y. Two eighth-grade teams earned blue ribbons and two teams earned red ribbons.
