Upcoming Warrior Events for the Week!
The kindergarteners and first graders had lots of fun on their field trip to Decorah on Thursday to see the play Tomas and the Library Lady.
Mr. Dennis presented to the elementary students to at our CCS Assembly. Students were asked to volunteer and help Mr. Dennis with his “Science” magic tricks. They learned about several different science topics and how to preform some tricks. Ask your child tonight if they can show you some tricks they learned today. It’s a great day to be a Warrior!
Third graders have started their computer science curriculum. They have been practicing programming using algorithms and what happens when there's an error or bug in it. One way to practice is to have a relay race with several teams, and see if they can complete the algorithm with no mistakes. If a student did find an error, they had to debug the problem and get back on track.
Yesterday was School Resource Officer Appreciation Day and we would like to take this time to recognize Officer Mitch Seitz. Most everyone knows this face and here at Central, we are incredibly lucky to see it on a regular basis. Whether he’s on or off duty, we can always count on him to help keep our schools and students safe. Thank you, Officer Seitz… it’s always a good day when you are in the building!
Did you know that greeting kids when they arrive at school can help increase academic performance and decrease behavior issues? Every morning you can find the teachers at Central helping students make that transition from home to school with positive energy and a caring smile!
Carter Krugger made the Kendrick Forest Products Facebook page while completing his required job shadow for Mrs. Stevenson's pre-employment class.
Today, Governor Reynolds made a visit to Central CSD to meet with Central Administration and area school superintendents to discuss a variety of education issues. We would like to thank Governor Reynolds for listening to our ideas and sharing her perspective on the AEA Bill.

5th grade students created Valentines Day boxes this week! They had an assignment to complete though! Students had to measure and calculate the area, perimeter and volume of their boxes. Their classmates also voted for the most eye catching, effort, creative and funniest. What a great Valentine's Day!
Students in Mrs. Stannard's 6th grade science class participated in a presentation from Ms. Abbey from Osborne today called, "It's in the Bones." They learned how to identify skulls using different structural parts, shapes and sizes from animals in Northeast Iowa. Teeth, jaw, auditory bullae size, nasal passage size, eye socket size and placement and determining the type of animal like carnivore and/or prey. Once they evaluated these on the skull, they made an educated guess on the animal the skull belonged too. Thank you Ms. Abbey for the very engaging and informative presentation!
