Mr. Lane's 6th graders are learning how to use Google Sheets and the different vocabulary they need to be successful with this application. In order to learn about cells, columns, rows, etc., they played Battleship. The students created a board and placed their boats. Then they faced off against each other to try and sink their opponents' boats first! #celebrate379
Mrs. Schooley's Industrial Arts students are continuing their initial training by learning how to use drillers and Impact drills. They practiced drilling pilot holes, installing screws, and removing screws. #celebrate379

Ms. Mellies finds unique ways to help her students learn. Today, she used the Blooket website to help students review for an upcoming end-of-quarter test. It is a contest of speed and knowledge that pits the entire class against each other! Study hard tonight for tomorrow's test! #celebrate
Mrs. McDonald has a unique way of helping her Family and Consumer Science students learn while also giving them some autonomy during the week. She creates a playlist of activities that all students must complete by the end of the week. Then they can work independently or in small groups to complete each assignment. Right now, her 6th graders are finishing up a nutrition unit. #celebrate379
HUGE NEWS FROM CCCMS AND USD 379!
Mr. Brummett was surprised this morning by friends, family, and Dr. Lyndsey Brown as the Kansas School Counseling Association Counselor of the year for the state of Kansas! He was first announced as one of three finalists for the award (which only a handful of 379 people knew), but then was announced as the winner (which nobody knew)!
Nobody cares more about kids than Mr. Brummett, so he is extremely deserving of this award. CCCMS and USD 379 are honored to have the best counselor in the state right here in Clay Center! #celebrate379

CCCMS has a Youth Leaders in Kansas (YLinK) group similar to CCCHS. Mr. Brummet leads the organization. One event they sponsor is a "Creativity Club". Students come after school once a month to show off their creativity. Whether it is learning to play the guitar, creating artwork, or just hanging out and eating snacks, students love the laid-back atmosphere! #celebrate379
