Tornado Times September Edition

Centerville Elementary Better Together!

Preschool learned about nature and bugs!

They went on a nature scavenger hunt and also looked for bugs. They enjoyed trying to catch various insects. They saw bees, butterflies, crickets, ladybugs, grasshoppers and ants. Preschoolers also spent a week learning about music. We ended the week with their own little marching band. They had such a fun time marching around the school taking turns playing their instruments.

Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd Grade visit Our Farm

K/1/2 went to "our farm" in Parker this week! Best day ever according to the kids- and us! So many fun activities...the kids were able to run and play together all morning. Spent 25 minutes lost in the corn maze, picked pumpkins on our way out, and then finished with lunch at the park.

The third graders learned about the life cycle of butterflies and raised monarch and painted lady butterflies. We wrapped up our unit by releasing our butterflies.

5th Grade was able to meet their Pen Pals at Centerville Care and Rehab this month! They also experimented with Density and stacking different liquids in Science.

Elementary students have been learning about apples in library class and doing some independent reading.
