The full-day preschool friends in Mrs. Pugh's class had their first visit to the STEAM room today! They were so excited to participate in the fun activities Mrs. Kreuser has in her classroom. They worked on building with tangrams to create fun holiday designs and had the opportunity to create a shelf for their elves, with a challenge to see who created the tallest.
Using different units of measurement is a great way to help students in kindergarten understand and enjoy measuring and math! How many links does it take to measure around this apple?
The cast and crew list has been posted for the One Act play this year! Every year Central competes in the MSHSL One Act competition. We will be performing "Sweep Under Rug", a play set in a dystopian future where struggling families have their own "Bobby Sue" to keep them in line. The play follows the citizens of "The City" and what happens as a revolution unfolds. The first competition for Subsections is on Saturday, January 25.
Congratulations to the cast and crew!

Second graders had a great time building multisyllabic words during phonics. Students were provided several cards containing one syllable each. They needed to match them up to form real words. After the students found a match, they practiced writing their words and reading them together. This is just one more way the Fundations Phonics Curriculum makes learning fun, collaborative, and engaging for our little Raiders!

On Monday, Dec. 2 we had 11 6th graders participate in Kids in the Kitchen baking Christmas Cookies, after school. Students learned how to crack an egg, measure ingredients, use a mixer, and boil on top of the stove. They made four different types of cookies and were able to take the cookies they made home, along with a certificate and their paper chef hats. A fun time was had by all!

Central Elementary celebrated students who completed an at-home reading challenge with a Glow Party! 210 students in grades K-5 completed the challenge and were able to color and make art projects using highlighters and black lights in one room, as well as play and dance in the gym with glow sticks. They built some great reading habits and had a ball!
It’s almost the end of a year, which means 2025-26 kindergarten registration is just a couple of months away! Students in Kindergarten at Central Elementary get to have a lot of fun during their school day as they learn lots of new things.
