Hello Cardinal Elementary Families,
We would like to share with you our Leaders of the Week at Cardinal Elementary. Please watch the video (https://youtu.be/irgi-MkMMPY) to learn more about how they earned these honors. We also review what it means to "choose your own weather" and more about our "circle of control" as we continue to focus on Habit 1: Be Proactive!
This week we honor our 1st grade leaders along with two OUTSTANDING teachers, Andrea Dostal (2nd grade classroom teacher), and Robin DeMuth (Title 1 Reading & Math). We are grateful for our Cardinal Leaders!
Today at Cardinal Elementary, we introduced students to Habit #1: Be Proactive with some help from our Student Lighthouse Team. We also recognized our 2nd Grade Leaders of the Week and our Staff Shout-Outs! (https://youtu.be/Alm7MXLPEQo) We are grateful to have so many great leaders at Cardinal Elementary!
Great XC meet at Anamosa today! Congratulations to Izzy Hardin on her first place finish and to all our runners! Go Cards!
A giant shout-out to Osterhaus Pharmacy today who delivered items for our students and families in support of the Cardinal Cupboard program. We greatly appreciate your generous donations!
Cardinal Elementary LOVED meeting our youngest students today as we welcomed in the new preschool classes. It's going to be a year filled with excitement and learning!
Cardinal 2nd graders have had a great introduction to the new CKLA reading series as they learn about different sounds and the "power bar". Please check with your 2nd grader to see if they can explain the power of this bar. We are looking forward to seeing the reading and writing abilities of our students grow as we dig deeper into the sounds of letters and how they work together to help us read and write!
