Chagrin Falls - Exempted Village Schools

Teachers Teaching Teachers! 📚✨ Earlier this week, a group of educators from Chagrin Schools traveled to Columbus for the Ohio Education Technology Conference—both to learn and to teach! Chagrin has always charted its own course when it comes to innovative teaching strategies. Our district fosters an environment where educators are empowered to explore and implement creative approaches in the classroom. This week, our team shared some of those cutting-edge lessons and strategies with educators from across Ohio. From the power of hands-on learning in Makerspaces to the learning curve of student pathways and personalized learning, and even the ever-evolving world of AI in education, they showcased the tools and methods shaping the future of learning. 👏 Way to go, Mr. Volk, Mrs. Klodor, Mrs. Jones, and Mr. Hoynacke! #ChagrinSchools #CFtogether #ChagrinTigers #ChagrinFalls 🧡🖤

🧡📜 Learning local history, hands-on! 🏛️🚒 Gurney’s 3rd graders take turns visiting the Chagrin History Center to explore our community’s past in an engaging, interactive way. Aligned with Ohio’s Learning Standards for Social Studies, this experience helps students develop an understanding of local history, geography, and how communities change over time. With the help of volunteers, students get to examine historical tools, clothing, and maps, bringing history to life beyond the classroom. And, of course, no visit is complete without a stop to see the old fire truck! 🚒 Thank you to the Chagrin History Center for creating such a meaningful learning experience for our students! 🖤🧡 #ChagrinSchools #CFtogether #ChagrinTigers #ChagrinFalls

Our 4th graders brought history to life! ✨📚 Students researched influential figures and showcased their learning through an interactive Living Wax Museum featuring prominent problem solvers. Students researched their problem solver, wrote an informational essay, created a presentation board, and then embodied their chosen person—ready to share their story with the press of a button! Families were invited to explore the museum last Friday in the CFIS cafeteria, meeting remarkable figures and hearing firsthand about their contributions. It was an incredible experience filled with knowledge, creativity, and a touch of history coming to life! 🎭👏 #ChagrinSchools #CFtogether #ChagrinTigers #ChagrinFalls

Chagrin Falls Schools will be closed on Thursday, February 6 due to inclement weather. Practices, games and activities may resume later in the afternoon. Please look for an email from your coach or advisor with updates.

What happens when you ask 400 4th, 5th, and 6th graders to share their thoughts about their school? Mr. Howell and the CFIS team embraced the challenge after winter break, and the feedback is in!💭🏫 Using the district's familiar roundtable discussion model, students shared their ideas on everything from academics to arrival/dismissal and recess. A common theme emerged: a strong desire for flexibility, interaction, and more personal choice in their school day. Students also highlighted their love of creative opportunities, teamwork, and hands-on learning—and they’re asking for even more of it! 🐯🖤🧡 #ChagrinSchools #CFtogether #ChagrinTigers #ChagrinFalls

Gurney's 3rd grade STEM class is diving into the fascinating world of simple machines! 🌟 Third graders learned how simple machines, such as levers, pulleys, and wheels, make tasks easier by reducing effort or changing the direction of force. These foundational principles help students understand how the world around them works—building a strong base for exploring more complex machinery in the future. 🛠️✨ After learning about and building several simple machines, students took on an exciting challenge: designing and building compound machines to rescue a tiger! 🐯 This hands-on activity brought physics to life, encouraging creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork. Amazing work, 3rd grade engineers! 🚀 #ChagrinSchools #CFtogether #ChagrinTigers #ChagrinFalls
