Cuthbertson Student Organizes "Water Walk" To Bring Clean Drinking Water To South Sudan
In February, Ms. Seckerโs 7th grade ELA students at CMS began reading the book A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park. During that time, students learned about the water crisis that is still happening in South Sudan, as well as the horrific experiences that the Lost Boys went through during the late 1980โs and into the early 2000โs. One student, John Bagdasarian, was particularly touched by the true story of Salva Dut, one of the Lost Boys of Sudan and his story of survival.

Quenching the Thirst to Give, Kids Giving Kids Clean Water for Life, Students Persuading Others To Give
Ms. Sinopleโs class recently read the novel, A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park. Before they started reading, they discussed that were important to the book: clean water, refugee camps, the Nuer and Dinka tribes, and the Akobo Desert. Students were shocked that so many people did not have clean water to drink and to learn that adults and children are dying everyday from contaminated water. After students finished the book, the students wanted to do something to help those without clean water. The students wrote persuasive essays to their parents giving them reasons why they should donate for clean water. Students had to have three reasons and proof from the text in their letters. The classes created their own webpage for the foundation Blood:Water. Ms. Sinople simply shared the link with parents and before we knew it, we had surpassed our goal of $1000! We now have a total of $1,583.00, which means forty children will have clean water for life!

Resource Carnival 2019
CMS teachers enjoyed learning about and exploring many of the digital tools that were showcased at our Resource Festival on March 26th, 2019 in the school media center. The program highlighted all of our UCPS subscription databases, UCPL resources, and several other digital tools such as PBS Learning, Google Draw, Google Apps Locker, and Google Arts and Culture. Each table had a chromebook with multiple tabs open, one showcasing a short google presentation which gave a brief overview of the program, ideas for using the tool in classrooms, and other information such as screencasts, webinars, quick start guides, etc. The chromebooks also had another tab where teachers could explore the tool and think of ways to use the tools in their classrooms. Mrs. Michele Bost, media specialist and Mrs Ashley Ponscheck, instructional coach, were on hand to answer questions and work with teachers as they explored. The full presentation containing on of the mini presentations for each program will be housed on the school canvas page, for teachers to refer to. Bost and Ponscheck also made themselves available to work with teachers one on one, as well as modeling lessons with their students in the classroom. We hope to make this Resource Carnival and annual event.
