Crossett Brook Middle School (CBMS) is located in Duxbury VT. CBMS is a middle school with students spanning from grades 5-8. CBMS is separated into 5 teams, Wizards, Dream, Quest, Titan and Prodigy. This anthology of stories and this website were written and created by the seventh and eighth graders of Prodigy in the Language Arts room.
The L.A room is where students write, read, and practice our communication skills. In Language Arts, we have writer workshop, a unit where we create short stories and share them with our peers and teachers. This website was created so that students could not only share their ideas with members of CBMS but branch out into the community.
Our L.A teacher, Julia Cicchetti has taught us how to describe and go deeper into our stories. We have learned a lot of extensive skills that will carry us through high school and college because of her expertise.
Our daily life in L.A usually looks like this, every day or every other day we come into L.A. We usually learn a mini-lesson that has to due with the unit we are working on, or do Flocabulary, which is a website that helps teach our mini-lessons through a video and a few quizzes. Finally, we get to work on the main project which for the past few weeks has been our Short Stories.
