Agronomy B has been learning about soil texture and how it impacts plant growth! The class did the soil ribbon texture method to determine texture of three unknown soils! Now to just convince them it is soil and not dirt!



Central 7th/8th Grade students completed transparency portraits of the staff.
Mrs. Carlyn Lechtenberg would also like like to inform all parents that we now have ARTSONIA... an educational, safe, online art gallery for all student work. All student work will be uploaded to this site all year. When students have Mrs. Lechtenberg in class, they will be given a parent access code to sign up. Parents can also visit artsonia.com/schools/elkader1 to find our school artwork.
Parents can order their child's artwork on objects/items such as mugs, blankets, phone cases, etc. and 20% of the proceeds go back to our art room.
