Dear CRES parents,
We hope your summer is going well and you are as excited as we are to get the new school year underway. You will all be receiving official notification of who your child's classroom teacher is in the next two weeks. We are still finalizing those lists, as we are processing summer withdrawals and enrollments. Once we get all those processed, we will be able to balance our class lists, and then we will send families the notifications. Rumor has it that some parents already "know" who their child's teacher will be. Until you receive the official notification from us, don't believe anything you may see or hear pertaining to whose classroom your child will be in. Thank you!
It is that time of year that we get to welcome new teachers to our staff.
Let's give a warm welcome to Mrs. Cathy Lacerte!
Ready. Set. Blast off! Kindergarten Blast Off is set for Tuesday, August 22. We can't wait to see you!
Students took part in a NEW 5 day mountain biking skill camp called Camp Cuyuna! At camp, the students learned about mountain biking: safety, basic skills, and techniques. Thank you to the instructors and all of the participants!🚵♀️
Ms. Alexis and Mrs. Elle worked with students to recognize numbers and create a pattern for that number. They also got to decorate cookies for a birthday!
Using the FIRST LETTER of your name, tell us something that makes you HAPPY!

Camp Invention took place last week at CRES. It was a success. Here is a recap of what the students learned. Camp Invention is made up of 4 different exploration topics: Invention Celebration, Pop-Up Venture, MimicBot, and Catching Air.
In Invention Celebration, campers learn about planning and developing a celebration. They sketch the ultimate party hat with a purpose, then investigate the science of circuitry to unlock an LED ball. Once their colorful light is glowing, campers prototype their innovative party hat. Then they sketch and prototype an invention that will help them during a celebration. It could be a robot waiter, a machine to take out the trash or an automatic door that helps guests inside — anything is possible!
Campers become entrepreneurs by creating the ultimate business in Pop-Up
Venture! They build models of their design and generate ideas for their shop. Then they develop a business plan, receive money from a lender and apply for a license. Campers explore ways to include environmentally conscious design in their pop-up shop! They contemplate the upfront costs versus the long-term impact of green space and continue building their pop-up shop, adding curb appeal to attract customers.
During MimicBot, children receive the challenge of turning look-alike robots into original, one-of-a-kind stuffies. They discover their robot has mimicking abilities and investigate the inner mechanics to find out what makes it move and groove. While exploring their robot, a Copy Cat who loves to steal ideas and claim them as his own reveals he has been lurking! Campers investigate patents as a way to thwart the Copy Cat. After discovering how nature codes for physical features
in plants and animals, children translate DNA code to unlock access to building block materials and start to style their stuffie. They dive deeper into mimicry by exploring some of nature’s greatest mimics, including animals that use mimicry
for protection.
In Catching Air, children explore the components of their mini skateboards and some inventors who have made them possible! They head to the Skate Shop to pick up their own mini board and then personalize it. Campers practice skate tricks as they explore the fun of physics through force, friction and more! They receive a finger shoe, then use their new kick to flip their board into a bowl. After that, children design their skate park! They create ramps, rails and other features that put their boards and tricks to the test. Campers create, test and recreate using DIY techniques to build a uniquely designed skate park that encourages fast-rolling fun!
