Paws4Cardinals
I am thrilled to report after our successful pilot program last year, we are expanding our dog assisted intervention program, Paws4Cardinals, at Center School. There’s nothing Murphy enjoys more than working with children to spread happiness and provide assistance.
This year, Murphy will be visiting twice a week as well as coming in for "Meet and Greets" with all of the Center School students as a way for them to get to know our dog assistant better.
As expected, the visits are a highlight in the day for all involved! To learn more about Murphy, please click on his website: Paws4Cardinals

Virtual Reality Comes to Center!
Thank you LEEF for the incredible grant to bring ClassVR to technology! Students have begun their travels!!
Third grade - Instead of reading about the seven continents, we actually travelled to each continent! We went to the Great Wall of China, the Sydney Opera House, the Rocky Mountains, a rain forest in Brazil, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the desert in Morocco, and to Antartica to visit with the penguins.
Second grade- In their study of US Landmarks, we traveled all over the United States to visit the Statue of Liberty, Old Faithful, the Golden Gate Bridge, Grand Canyon, the Gateway Arch, and more!
First grade- What better way to learn about the seasons then to see them? We experienced a Maine winter, a California summer, the Spring Cherry Blossoms in Washington D.C., and fall in Utah.
The students were SO excited, and learned so much from their experiences! Be sure to ask them all about it!
Thank you Ms. M for capturing our trip in photos!

Center School Sightings - Episode 2!
In the spirit of teaching our students about the importance of community service, we have begun our sixth yearlong effort to feed those in need of assistance. Center School Helping Hands is a school-wide effort that provides our students an opportunity to work as grade level teams to make a difference by making sandwiches to help feed the hungry. Helping Hands is a collective endeavor that depends on the generosity of our Peace Builders community; and we anticipate another successful year! Here’s how it works: Each grade level will be assigned a month to meet one morning in the cafeteria at 7:45 AM to make sandwiches with their grade level team.The students will go directly to their classrooms at 8:25.

Second Graders Will Rock You!
Second Grade Science Integration
Students in grade two are learning all about rocks! To kick off the unit in technology, we sang along to a fun song, "We Will Rock You" and then did interactive experiments to learn more about the properties of different rocks. The next week, students created their own Pic Collage to demonstrate their knowledge. Outstanding job second graders!

Fifth Graders Find Their Strengths!
By learning about and valuing students' strengths, we motivate their learning. Letting students know that there are many areas in which they are intelligent gives them confidence.
Fifth graders took a multiple intelligence survey, and then graphed their results in Google sheets.
They were very excited to become aware of all of their many strengths! Check out the hallway by the technology integration room to see all of the results!
