Mrs. Johnson's WIN group enjoyed reading a story for their skill they are working on. Then, they started to illustrate the story.




Maquoketa Families,
Buses will be on hard surface roads only starting Monday, January 29th through Wednesday, January 31st. We will reevaluate on Wednesday what our plans for bussing will be for the remainder of the week. Thank You for your understanding.


Hello Cardinal Elementary Families,
We are hoping for a full week ahead with enough warm and dry weather to be outside for recess! Thank you to all those that supported student learning during our virtual day last Tuesday. We will continue to have four more virtual days IF/when they are needed. Continue to reach out to classroom teachers if you have any questions regarding the work on these days.
Watch this week's CWNK news report (https://youtu.be/ta0rTc1z7gk) for more information about what's happening at Cardinal Elementary.
Have a great week!
Warm Regards,
Sara Bennis
