Maquoketa Families,
We will have a two hour delay today, Friday, March 22nd. The Maquoketa area seems to be in a pocket of a more dense snow than some of the areas around us. Thank You for your understanding and patience.
The peer reading going on in Mrs. Trusty’s first grade classroom has been amazing!
Talented and Gifted students in kindergarten finished their Project Lead the Way casts when learning about the structure and function of the human body.
Talented and Gifted students in grades 1st through 5th continued their population genetics learning by watching a live virtual wolf experience through International Wolf Center in Ely, Minnesota.
Congrats to our 1st and 2nd Grade PE Leaders.

This week we celebrated the end of the Kid's Heart Challenge. We had 51 students participate in the challenge and brought in $1,865. Dollars raised help fund community initiatives, education, research and quality of care – all to fight the No. 1 killer in the world, heart disease. The votes were in and Mr. Shipper was selected to take a pie in the face. Thanks for being a team player Mr. Schipper!
Mrs. Klemme's students are showing they know how to synergize!! They are working together to build a cup pyramid!!
Ms. Ellen's club is also working to synergize during our Cardinal Club time.
Congratulations to our Cardinal Leaders of the Week!

One more week to go until Kindergarten Round-Up!
Mrs. Hardin's class has been participating in the Read Across Iowa literacy unit during the month of March. Last week they finished reading the books, My Families Dairy Farm, and How to Make Ice Cream. Students also wrote about their favorite dairy products and made pudding parfaits and homemade ice cream.
Check out the awesome origami dogs that some Cardinal first graders made during explorations! 🐶🩵🐾 An impressive bunch of creative kiddos. 😊

On Thursday, some of Ms. Liz's students from last year were able to come help put soil on the 2nd generation of Pumpkin Jack. He will look a bit different when the preschoolers return on Monday! 😊🎃 The lid was removed, as Jack was plenty decomposed at this point, and soil was placed on top. THANK YOU to the kindergarteners for their help. 😄Hopefully he will sprout in the next few weeks so we can watch the pumpkin life cycle continue on! 🌱
