Coesse's lost and found is already full of hoodies, zip-ups and jackets.
Our recess monitors work hard to make sure they get picked up after recess but students are not claiming them. All of these items are hanging in our cafeteria so hopefully students are seeing them and it's reminding them to make sure to grab what is theirs.
If an item is labeled, we are able to return them quickly to students, but none of these are labeled with names. This year in order to keep lost and found from becoming too large we will be donating unclaimed items at the end of every quarter.
Thank you for your support and participation!

Last week, third graders went on their Essential Experience to Downtown Columbia City to learn about jobs in our community and how they help make our community better. The students loved visiting the fire station, police station, and meeting the mayor at City Hall.
At approximately 9:55 a.m., the fire alarm was activated at Coesse Elementary. Students and staff responded and were outside for about 20 minutes while the Union Township Fire Department responded and cleared the building. There were no safety concerns and students returned to their classrooms at 10:15 a.m.
The exact cause of the alarm is still under investigation, although it appears, initially, to be related to lingering dust in the boiler room from roof work being completed over the weekend.
We thank the Union Township Fire Department for their quick response, and appreciate the understanding from our students, staff and parents.

Second and third graders in the Nutcracker group have been working on researching famous artists and then recreating one of their artists' artworks! They had to complete their research, choose an artwork, and then choose a new medium to recreate that piece.

Our fourth graders headed down to Indianapolis last week to learn more about our great state.
They got to see Indiana history come to life at the Indiana State Museum. Next they walked along the canal to see the Congressional Medal of Honor monument and the 9/11 memorial.
The classes finished by getting a tour of our incredible state capital building where they got to sit in the seats of our legislators, see the Indiana Supreme Court, and even walk through the historic vault.

The CCMA students visited all four of our elementary schools to do a teddy bear clinic with all kindergartners.
The kindergartners visited 10 different stations including registration where students got to name their bear and get a wristband put on their bear.
Then was height and weight here their bear was measured and weighed. They moved to vital signs where we checked the bear's temperature, blood pressure, and students got to "hear" their bear's heartbeat by putting on a stethoscope and the CCMA students tapped on it to simulate a heartbeat.
They then moved to surgery where we removed the "bearpendix" from their bear. The kindergartners then moved on to having their bear's ears, and eyes checked. The bears had x-rays taken and students were given an x-ray of their teddy bear.
Finally, they moved to dental where they learned about brushing their teeth, and received a toothbrush, toothpaste, timer, and coloring book. Students learned about vaccinations and got to "give" their bear a shot.
Lastly, they went to a bandaging station where we wrapped their bear's arm up to help stop the bleeding from the shot.
This was all done to help teach kids that going to the doctor, the hospital, and the dentist doesn't need to be a scary experience.
It was also to help teach the CCMA students how to communicate and teach children about different health situations in which they may work once they graduate from our CTE program.

For the final month of school, Kindergarten has been doing an ABC Countdown where each day has a specific theme or activity that goes with each letter of the alphabet.
Today Miss Stoner's class completed activities for letters "L" & "M". They had a luau and listened to music while they learned! Everyone hopped on a plane and flew to Hawaii! Students experienced their own luau in the classroom. Students learned fun facts about Hawaii as well as how to hula and play ukulele. They finished the day designing sandcastles before heading back "home."
Coesse Kindergarten hosted the Kindy 500!! Students worked hard to create cardboard race cars at home and then raced each other!
Cross Country Camp has been added!
