While following their teacher’s tutorial on how to make homemade pop tarts, students were creative and experimented with different fillings.

Students and teachers continue to work remotely. Pictured are two third grade students working on a science experiment to learn about pollination during a zoom session with their teacher.

The procedure will be as follows (similar to end of the day dismissal): 1. Cars will line up along Reynolds Drive and enter the front circle drive. Please remain in your vehicle. 2. A number will be assigned to your car after a staff member takes your student's name. Drive to that number and wait for someone to bring your student's materials to your car. 3. Be prepared to return any school materials to that person (library books, text books, technology, etc... This procedure will take place from 11:30 - 2:00 following this schedule: 1. First grade - Monday 18th 2. Second grade - Tuesday 19th 3. Third grade-Thursday 20th We appreciate your willingness to follow these procedures to maintain social distancing requirements.

One of this week’s Zoom meetings included “Bring Your Pet”. Students introduced their pets to their classmates and enjoyed a read aloud by Mrs.Hawk, the school’s librarian.

CUSD 1 Staff continues to connect with their students both academically and social/emotionally. Tonight would have been the opening of the high school musical, Mary Poppins. Staff members helping with the musical surprised the cast, crew, and orchestra pit staff with signs in their yard this morning.

Carl Sandburg third graders continue to work hard from home! Video chat + Mystery Science = a great combination for learning about weather and climate. As Mystery Doug says, "Stay curious!"

Many teachers are continuing to use Zoom to have face to face contact with their students. Students look forward to seeing their teachers and friends.

CUSD 1 staff came out and celebrated Vice Principal’s Week by driving by with signs for Carl Sandburg’s Patti Murphy who will be retiring in May.
