Central Community FFA at the 98th National FFA Convention!
Central Community FFA hit the road yesterday for the 98th National FFA Convention! Their first stop was Hummel Livestock and Select Exotics, where members explored cutting-edge reproduction technology in the show Boer goat industry and learned about fascinating exotic animals—including the Savannah cat breed, rheas, and elands.
Next, they headed to the Schakolad Chocolate Factory, where students discovered how and where cocoa is grown, the process behind making different types of chocolate, and how sourcing and pricing impact the chocolate industry. 🍫
Stay tuned to see where their adventures take them next!
Central 6th grade is working on US History and talking about regions of the US many of the Native American tribes found across the United States. Learning about different cultures and reasons why cultures would be different. After finishing in the Northwest region and the totem poles, each student choose 3 animals that represented them based on what Native Americans believed each animal represented and created a personal totem pole.
Central 6th grade students participated in a fossil presentation and fossil hunt. The presentation was in the classroom looking at fossil examples. Then we walked to Freedom Bank to hunt for fossils on the bank's rock walls. Thank you Ann Gritner and Freedom Bank. @iowastem

🎃 Pumpkin Investigation with Our Elementary Friends! 🎃
Agriculture Leadership B has been having a blast planning, facilitating, and presenting agriculture lessons with our elementary friends! This week’s activity was called “Pumpkin Investigation.”
Students measured the circumference of the pumpkin, conducted a float test, counted the ridges, weighed their pumpkins, and even explored what’s inside!
We’re looking forward to roasting pumpkin seeds soon to share with our third-grade friends as a fun and healthy snack.
