The Lion’s RoarVolume 19, Number 1 Cincinnatus Central School District Newsletter January 2018

As a culmination of a study of Native American settlement, middle school students in Ms. Kurtz' and Ms. Pierce's classes invited family members to a Native American exhibit on Thursday, December 21st. The idea began out of student interest in learning more about particular tribes. Once students selected a tribe they were interested in learning about, they took on the task of researching information of their group. In addition, students created arti-facts which they felt represented their particular tribe. A special thank you to families who supported their child's learning at home with this project, as well as those who were able to attend the exhibit. Great work students! Submitted by: Ms. Kurtz

6th Grade Book ClubWonder by R. J. Palacio

As written by the club members...

Eighteen 6th Graders took part in a book club. We read the book called, “Wonder”, a heartwarming, bittersweet, laugh-out loud book about a boy named August Pullman, a kid who is, well…”born to stand out”. The book club took place in the library on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 3:05 until 4:10. Mrs. Reakes and Mrs. Roelen guided the book discussions.Written by: Brooke Halstead, student

The book club read the book “Wonder”. It is about a young boy with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to school for many years. August Pullman is about to enter Fifth Grade at Breecher Prep. Will Auggie make friends? Will they like him for who he is on the inside, not on the outside? Written by: Bryer Torrance, student

What a wonderful experience for all. The students were an absolute pleasure to work with. The book club idea was something we came up with to encourage our students to read for FUN! We enjoyed the excellent discussions that came with excitement and emotion. A special thank you to all the dynamic students for spending time reading. Also a special thank you for all the parents and guardians for supporting this project. Keep reading! ~Michele Reakes and Pamela Roelen, teachers

“Wonder was an amazing book and in the book club there was an amazing groups of girls and one boy. It helped me have a better bond with my friends and I got to read an amazing book.” ~ Georgia Warner, student

“At book club I discovered a new book called, Wonder. It was very inspiring for kids that are picked on in school.” ~ Emma Finch, student

“I feel that we should have more book clubs because it goes along with CARES and teaches us what it’s like to be different.” ~ Brooklyn Moss, student

“When given the choice to be right or be kind, choose kind. I know this is a cliché, but that’s a quote we do need to live by. I wish everyone could be in a book club like this.” ~Brooke Halstead“I love how this book inspires us to accept others no matter how different they are.” ~ Emily Gates, student

“In book club my friends and I read the book called Wonder. I thought that it was the best book I have ever read. I totally recommend it to you all!” ~Abigail Whaley, student

Dont' Let the Cold Weather Keep You From Exercising

The newly equipped fitness room is open for use weekdays, 3:30-6:30pm, for community members (unless sports teams are utilizing it). Also, don't forget that our main floor is open for walkers during that same time. The starting point for walkers is the faculty room, where you can find a one-mile course "map" if you'd like to track your mileage.

Kindergarten Craft DayOn Friday, December 1, 2017 the Kindergarten classes kicked off the holiday season by participating in a fun “Christmas Craft” event in the cafeteria. The students listened to Christmas music and enjoyed cookies and hot cocoa while they went to different centers where they got to make a variety of Christmas ornaments. The centers were led by helpful parent volunteers as well as teachers and teachers’ aides. Everyone had a great time crafting and getting into the Christmas spirit! Submitted by: Mrs. Haskins

Ho, Ho, Ho from Mrs. Brown’s Fourth Grade ELA class

Students wrote a persuasive writing piece to Santa Claus to convince him that they were the elves for the job this Christmas. Students watched a clip from the movie “Elf,” listened to an interview from an elf, filled out graphic organizers and brain-stormed their ideas about what a good elf should be. Students used the writing process to come up with their final copies to convince Santa Clause that they were the elves for the job! After creating their writings, the students created themselves as an Elf and their writings were posted in the hall for all see! The students had a wonderful time imagining and writing. Submitted by Mrs. Brown

In Mrs. Rice’s morning ELA class for December, the “Hill Climbers of 109” learned about four countries and how they celebrate Christmas: the United States, Germany, Mexico, and Israel. Along with reading, the students made a craft that depicts something important about each country and Christmas. Morning Meeting time complemented their study as did our read-aloud times in the afternoon. We also spent time sharing about the three primary December holidays – Hanukah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa.Submitted by: Mrs. E. Eaton

Students in the 3-4-5 class room listen to Mrs. Clements read about how other countries celebrate Christmas. Pictured are: Jazzmine Gage, Char

We ended November with our Senior Citizens Thanksgiving Dinner and would just like to thank everyone who helped with it, especially Mr. Bilodeau and the cafeteria staff. The month of December is one of Student Senate’s most rewarding. Charitable Christmas holds a special spot to senators. We greatly appreciate everyone who donated for the families. We ended this month with the variety show which was a lot of fun for everyone. From Student Senate we are wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

C.A.R.E.S. Kids have been busy displaying positive character traits during the months of November and December. Many students have filled their punch cards for weekly drawing of assorted prizes. Keep up the great work! In November, students in UPK through 3rd grade attended an assembly to learn about CARES traits on the playground. The students reviewed problem solving using the Conflict Resolution, watched a skit by Sonny, and viewed a video on Playground Expectations. The students in grades 4 through 6 had a separate assembly where they learned about Respect in the school community through videos and open discussions.

The December CARES assembly for UPK-6 students was on the character trait, Responsibility. Mrs. Gardner explained to the students what Responsibility is and why it is important. The students were then treated to a live demonstration of our own Elf Workshop and what happens when one Elf does not follow through with their job. Great job Elves showing Cincy kids the character trait, Responsibility!

During this assembly, the following students were recognized for showing Assertion: Adyson Burke Hunter Ellerson Michaela DeLee Terah Young Rosalyn Delavan Thomas Edwards Emily Calhoun Logan Moore Kelbie Eaton Dominic Crandall Leaonna Horak Amelia Wagner Brynn Closson Garett Jack Jacob Farrow Cassia Schuyler Breyden Silva Mikalette Frye

HIGH SCHOOL COURSE SCHEDULING BEGINS SOONIn the next few months, each high school student will be met with individually to talk about their 2018-2019 courses. In these meetings, we talk about how the current school year is go-ing, their grades, career and future plans, and classes/credits needed to graduate. It is impor-tant that students think about how each school year can affect the next and the classes they would like to take. If you have any questions about these meetings or would like to attend with your student, please feel free to call the Guidance Office, 607-863-3200, option 3.

The Cincinnatus Drama Club would like to thank the community for their attendance at the fall show of A Christmas Scarol written by Don Zoldalis and Published by Playscripts, Inc. At both a matinee and evening show, an audience of over 350 people enjoyed the holiday themed production. This was a learning play for the club as most of the actors were new to the stage. We couldn’t be more proud of their success. A big shout out goes to Mr. Chuck Corsi and Mr. Jonathan Stacey for their help with the construction of the set as well as the large tech crew that brought it all together! From make-up and hair, to painting and building, more than 30 students helped bring the technical aspects of the show to light. We look forward to having the community again in March at our Spring Production.

The Cincinnatus French Club would like to thank the community for the success of our fall dinner. More than 180 guests were served and enjoyed their meal. There were rave reviews! This has been one of the club’s most successful dinners to date and we look forward to serving you again next fall! This winter the French Club will be having a holiday themed get together before the break and will be working on their community service project for the spring. Our spring fundraiser begins in February as the club will be selling Gertrude Hawk Chocolates and gifts which will arrive before Easter.

Cincinnatus Celebrates Unity Day!UNITY Day was October 25th. Unity Day was started by the PACER National Bullying Prevention Center as a signature event of National Bullying Prevention Month. The call to action was to “Make it Orange and Make it End. Unite Against Bullying!” Participants were encouraged to wear orange to show their support for bullying prevention. That’s the day everyone can come together – in schools, communities, and online – and send one large ORANGE message of support, hope, and unity to show that we are together against bullying and united for kindness, acceptance and inclusion.

In order to make students feel a sense of connection on UNITY Day this year we placed an orange heart on each secondary students locker with a special message from a staff member. Middle school students got involved by completing various activities with Mrs. Dristle and Mrs. MacDonald in computer classes; students created public service announcements, anti-bullying posters, Unity Day informational posters and one very large orange chain made of individual links of positive thoughts and affirmations. Unity Day will be October 24, 2018 so get those orange outfits ready!

The Cincinnatus Central School District works to convey information to students, parents, businesses and community members in a variety of ways. One major source of information is the school district website which can be found on the Internet at www.cc.cnyric.org.

Another method of communication within the district is this publication, The Lion's Roar, which is produced by students enrolled in the high school course, Computer Publications. The newsletter is published entirely by students and the printing completed by OCM BOCES. In addition to the website and newsletter, there are also a variety of classroom newsletters, grade reports and parent memos sent home via students and/or mail.

The purpose of these communication tools is to share information about our district, to showcase student, faculty, and staff endeavors, as well as provide resources for students, parents, community members and faculty. We welcome input from all of the school community in making this communication more efficient and more valuable. In utilizing new technologies the district may want to post children's work or pictures on our website and/or in district publications. This could include photos, writings, artwork, or videos recorded for our in-house TV station. Parents or guardians who do NOT wish to have their child’s name and/or photograph on the district web site, in student video productions, in the newsletter or other publications, must notify the district in writing of their wishes. This must be done each school year. Please send any related correspondence to:
