Fifth-grade learners at Denton Creek Elementary are putting their bilingual skills into action by volunteering in dual language kindergarten classrooms as part of their efforts to earn the Seal of Biliteracy. Under the guidance of teacher Christine Scovill, the fifth-graders help kindergarten learners recognize numbers 0–10 in Spanish through hands-on activities using base-ten blocks, Unifix cubes and interactive math mats. Together, they build and compare quantities, identify numerals and practice greater-than and less-than concepts while strengthening their Spanish language skills. The visits also create meaningful connections between older and younger learners, giving kindergarteners positive role models while allowing fifth-graders to demonstrate patience, kindness and leadership. This cross-grade collaboration reflects the spirit of bilingualism and community that makes Denton Creek's dual language program special.

November 13, 2026

On Nov. 12, CMS North yearbook students visited Coppell High School to explore the Yearbook, KCBY TV and The Sidekick programs as they begin considering high school elective options and future course selections. Led by CMS North teacher Lynley Johnson, the students got an inside look at the exciting opportunities available through high school publications. CHS students provided hands-on experiences, taking their younger peers into the hallways to interview students, gather quotes and capture photographs. The experience gave CMS North learners a firsthand look at what it means to be part of a high school publication team while helping them envision new Career and Technical Education opportunities to grow their creativity, communication and storytelling skills.
