Kindergarten wrapped up their CKLA unit about Kings and Queens with a Royal Tea Party! Their attire was fancy and the manners were impeccable!
Today we had our final "Lunch with the Law" experience of the year with our kindergarten students. Malia DenHerder, Trae Kane Jr., and Declan Johnson enjoyed a meal at the Maquoketa DQ! Maquoketa Police Department, Assistant Chief Jason Thomson and School Resource Officer James Tenney rewarded these students with a yummy meal and ice cream dessert after they were nominated by classroom teachers for being great role models for others at Cardinal Elementary! As part of this honor these students got to select a teacher that makes a positive IMPACT on their learning. Well deserved, Mrs. Liz Wawro, Mrs. Stacy Owen, and Mrs. Whitney Richardson! We are proud of you all! ❤️👏 Thank you to the Maquoketa Police Department for providing this opportunity for our students and staff!
Shout Out to Hurstville Interpretive Center for hosting 1st Grade Field.
