Community Time Engineered Marble Tracks

At Camas Ridge Community School we have a very unique class. Four times per week 1st - 5th grade students work together during our 'Community Time' block. Recently the room 13 community class completed a STEM activity. We designed and created our own marble tracks. Students worked in teams of two or three children from different grade levels to create a marble track. Then teams had to work together to engineer their individual tracks to work with tracks from other teams.  Below is the result!

Community Time

Welcome to the Room 6 Community Time Blog!

Welcome to the 2016-2017 school year! I am very excited for Community Time to begin.  It is always an exciting time to welcome our new 1st grade friends to our community class.  Community Time happens four times per week.  Community Time groups are made up of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students. Students work together in groups on cooperative activities and social skills.  The cohort remains intact throughout a student's experience at Camas Ridge. First grade students keep the same community teacher for 5 years. We are lucky at Camas Ridge to have opportunities to build friendships across multiple grade levels, lasting 5 years!
