Second grade students created a place value house where they had to put the number in: standard form, word form and expanded form. Smart kidos!💙 #IBtheplace2B #Ascend #AscendingtoExcellence #cpsdascends

Second grade students learned so much by collecting data about skittle colors and then creating a bar graph to represent that data. Great work second grade! #IBtheplace2B #Ascend #AscendingtoExcellence #cpsdascends

Happy Happy Birthday Ms. Blue! We wish you the best day ever! #IBtheplace2B #Ascend #AscendingtoExcellence #cpsdascends

🍪Friday was a BIG day in First Grade. 🍪 For the last few weeks, they have been learning all about our government (local, state, and national), government services, and how our leaders are voted in! They had their first Great Cookie Election! As if eating cookies all morning wasn't cool enough, OUR MAYOR, Mr. Bart Castleberry joined them for the fun! After tasting each cookie, each kiddo made a tough decision and voted for their favorite cookie to be their official Class Cookie! Ms. Wahrer's Class Cookie: OREO! Mrs. Dye's Class Cookie: OREO! Mrs. Dowdy's Class Cookie: Chocolate Chip! #IBtheplace2B #Ascend #AscendingtoExcellence #cpsdascends

After learning about grams and kilograms, 3rd grade students worked in small groups to estimate the mass in grams of classroom objects. The students then met back with their teacher and the whole group to check the actual weight in grams using a scale. Great work 3rd grade! #IBtheplace2B #Ascend #AscendingtoExcellence #cpsdascends
