Cape Fear Elementary School

Students in the 21st CCLC after-school program created paper plate mazes using creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork. They designed paths, tested their mazes, and made improvements to help a marble reach the finish. This hands-on activity helped students practice critical thinking, planning, and perseverance while having fun.

Mrs Robertsons preschool class is taking part in a challenge for hearts across America. Please share with friends and families in different states to help them achieve their goal.

Mrs. Johnson’s class has begun their Building Study! Through hands-on activities, students are exploring language, literacy, math, science, motor skills, social studies, and the arts. We are already having so much fun “building” and learning!

21st Century Community Learning Center students recently participated in their first nutritional visit with Pender County nutritionist, Mrs. Rivenbark. The engaging session focused on kitchen safety, healthy eating options, and the importance of making informed nutritional choices. Students also enjoyed a hands-on activity creating edible Play-Doh, which reinforced lessons in food safety, collaboration, and healthy food preparation in a fun and meaningful way.

Mrs Robertson's class completed their ginger bread study but creating Gingerbread houses with families. They used all the skills learned over the last few weeks (identifying numbers, shapes, fine motor skills, following recipes, step by step process, problem solving with materials, and more!). Thank you to all the families who helped make this possible and all the help building. Such a great turnout.
