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!

We are three days into Random Acts of Kindness Week. This is a great time to remind ourselves the importance of being kind. Unexpected kindness, expecting nothing in return, is the most powerful, least costly, and most underrated agent of human change. No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. #MakeKindnessTheNorm

This student has helped with performances for classes they are not even apart of and is a huge asset to the group.

The January Student-Athlete of the Month is described as a key individual in the team’s success this season and recent improvements to the team’s performance. Coaches have noted that the time spent in the gym during the offseason has made a huge difference in both individual and team success this year. Opponents have noted the offensive threat this basketball player can be, but this student-athlete is making a big impact with teammates with a strong defensive presence. Passing the basketball has been a huge strength, allowing teammates to be involved in the game. Finally, this student-athlete is someone we can rely on to be at school and practice when they are not feeling 100%. Coaches said, “we appreciate your commitment and leadership in this way, which other athletes can look to as a role model in how to do things correctly.” The January Student-Athlete of the Month is Ashlyn Scherf.

Dennis Regling is coming to Central Community School, with his presentation of “The Magic of Science”.
This fun-filled, lively and exciting show is geared towards a better understanding of Science and Technology and is fit for audiences of all ages. Packed with laughs and the unexpected, this presentation will enthuse and motivate both young learners and adults alike. This show is filled with amazing demonstrations of Math, Physics, Electricity, Chemistry. Air Pressure and Optical Illusions.
Mr. Dennis shows how magicians use science to fool us. Unlike many science shows, Mr. Dennis actually explains the science that make the demonstrations work in easy to understand language. Students will learn simple definitions of important science words.
Forty five minutes of fun and laughter really is forty five minutes of learning. Make plans to join us next week!
