Citrus Grove Elementary School

🎉CELEBRATING MATH CHAMPIONS🎉 This past weekend, the Martin County School District Math Team proudly hosted the inaugural Fifth Grade Math Olympics at Dr. David L. Anderson Middle School. Twelve teams of students from across the district went head-to-head, battling for the title of District Champion. Students competed in various rounds involving problem-solving, critical thinking, and speed math. In the end, Palm City Elementary School's team was victorious! Citrus Grove Elementary School's team took home second-place honors and Jensen Beach Elementary School's team placed third. Way to go, MCSD Mathletes! #ALLINMartin👊

Our 1000th token was earned today by.... Brodrick! How fitting- Brodrick is our current MCSDReads GOAT with the most points in the school! This 5th grader has 831 points and enjoys reading series, fantasy, and funny books. We are inspired by his love of reading, and thrilled to reward him with book vending machine tokens. The For the Love of Reading incentive program is provided by generous donations to the Education Foundation of Martin County. Congratulations, Brodrick!

The Martin County School District STEM Awards Ceremony was last week and Citrus Grove Elementary is proud to announce our winners. Cora Marr placed 2nd in the Product Testing category for her investigation of makeup removers. Vincenzo studied insulation materials and placed 1st in the Physical Science category. Mrs. Molina-Council, the classroom teacher of both students, expressed appreciation for their hard work. "I'm so proud of Vincenzo and Cora, and so grateful for their supportive families," she said. In addition to these individual winners, CGE had two classroom projects receive honorable mention awards. Ms. Hewitt's Kindergarten class was recognized for their experiment studying how liquids dissolve candy, and Mrs. Jacobsen's class earned a prize for their investigation of iron in cereals. Diamondback high-fives go to these teachers and Mrs. Gibson, our Related Arts science teacher and STEM Fair coordinator, for all of their instruction and guidance during the fair. Thank you for inspiring scientific thinking!

CGE had several #MathWeek2023 Kahoot winners in Ms. Krukowski's 4th grade class. Congratulations to her students who earned top honors in these district-wide contests!

books, tokens, and pride Citrus Grove super readers Thanks, EFMC In honor of National Haiku Poetry Day, we'd like to thank one of our most important partners for learning - the Education Foundation of Martin County. They coordinate a multitude of initiatives for schools, teachers, staff, students, and families, but this year they began supporting a BIG one here on CGE's campus: the For the Love of Reading book vending machine! The MCSDReads program allows students to earn points for reading books, and each time students earn 25 points the EFMC provides a gold token for use at the vending machine to choose a book to keep. So far this year, CGE has read over 31,000 books, and more than 975 tokens have been awarded. Who will earn our 1,000th token? Stay tuned as we celebrate our super readers this week!

During a recent lesson about music composers, Mrs. Combass challenged first graders to share Spring Break activities with Flat Beethoven! The cut-out character traveled with students, met grandparents, and enjoyed fun in the Florida sun. He's shown here with Harper, Duke, and Mark participating in various athletic experiences. We love the reminder to appreciate music during our daily life!
