Mrs. Bayle's second grade class had a project funded by Donors Choose.  The were able to get the 360 incubator, which allowed the students to view the eggs from all angles.  Not only can they watch on all sides of the incubator, but there is livestream video to view the hatching process during the after school hours. This will provide the best opportunity for the students to witness the chicks hatching. The entire family can enjoy the experience together!  They were also able to get a brooder to store the chicks in after they hatch. It has clear windows for the kids to look into and watch the chicks as they grow. The heat controlled lamps will help keep the chicks warm and comfortable. With the help of some of the parents from Mrs. Bayle's class and various donors from around the country this project was funded in just a few days! 

CAPS had the pleasure of hosting David Gorman, the author behind Waldameer Mystery Files. Some lucky students even enjoyed having lunch with David. From learning about the author's journey to discussing Waldameer's history, it was a day to inspire our students to read and write. So thankful for this opportunity for our students and families! 

CAPS first graders, second graders, and kindergarteners competed in a math fact challenge to celebrate Pi Day on March 14.  Students competed against other mathletes in their grade level to answer addition facts quickly.  The winner of each round advanced to the next round until each grade had a first, second and third place winner.  Congratulations to all of our Mathletes!

Congratulations goes out to these hard-working students!  They gained over 100 points (a whole grade level) on IXL!  Keep up the great work!
