Even though this winter has been mild so far, I am wishing for an early Spring. Which do you hope for?

We made it a snow day in pre-k! Mrs. Dougherty and Ms. Vaughn’s class read a story about snow, made snow puffy paintings and played with shaving cream “snow”! We even got some practice writing letters and our names with it!

Hello Raiders, I'm happy to be almost to the end of January and just now communicating about the weather. As you're aware, winter weather will soon be upon us. Several people have asked about whether a snow day will be used as a remote learning day. Should we need to cancel school for weather, Midwest Central plans to use a snow day just as we have in the past. We will not have any remote learning on those days. We will simply add them to the end of the year as we've done traditionally. I hope this clears up any confusion. Best, Dr. Todd Hellrigel

The fourth grade classes are learning about different types of energy in science. Today, the classes made ice cream to learn about heat transfer. Ms. Hamblin’s class enjoyed this tasty experiment and declared it the ‘best day ever’.

What a fun Friday in preschool! Ms. Dougherty and Ms. Vaughn’s class has been learning all about signs in our environment and today we went on a sign hunt in our building! Our favorite was the exit sign! We are also enjoying learning through play in our classroom centers!

Friday, January 15, is a half day with an 11:40 AM dismissal. We are offering our students a self-care, wellness day including the following activities. Please ask them about this first-ever, exciting day and use these resources at home on those evenings, weekends, and breaks that you want some quiet and calm in your house! • New Breathing Exercise: Finger Breathing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bvYNX6Roge2mQ8iS89AXXYEb6rYeLp_w/view?usp=sharing • Yoga: Cosmic Kids https://www.youtube.com/results?sp=mAEB&search_query=cosmic+kids+yoga • Mindfulness Video: This woman does a great job explaining mindfulness and why it is a good exercise to start practicing. https://youtu.be/8rp5bpFIUpg • YouTube playlist for Just Dane videos: These videos are of all difficulties. These videos are great for movement. Children need to move throughout their day to keep their minds focused and body’s ready to listen. Here is a great way for kids to move and have fun at the same time. Mr. Forbes gave a tip: I usually simplify harder ones by focusing on the top half of the body, then you can add in lower half when you’re comfortable (the feet are usually the hardest parts of the choreography). https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFtrDKHAEj7VleHJ5L7wLjroM4_JvwI4 • Stress ball activity: Go Noodle has this activity in case anyone wants to use it Friday along with their stress ball activity. https://app.gonoodle.com/activities/how-to-make-a-squishy-stress-ball?sp=search&sn=search&st=video%20versions&sid=96 • Read alouds My Many Colored Days by: Dr. Seuss (All Grade Levels) https://youtu.be/EjNNE-cLQ-o Llama Llama Mad at Mama (Pre-K/K) https://youtu.be/-YyFW8Nm37c When Sophie Gets Angry…. Really Really Angry (K-2) https://youtu.be/ZJboHWzVgp8 Wilma Jean the Worry Machine (K-5) https://youtu.be/Px8pj-vIErY Dr. Seuss’ Sleep Book (2-5) https://youtu.be/4N-ULcZOKI0
