Here are a few great ideas of things you can do with your family when enjoying Iowa in the winter! Make some memories….🥰

CCE’s kindergarten students are shown here with their favorite toy illustrations! Thanks for sharing them with me while practicing your public speaking skills! 🤓

The kindergarten students wrapped up their Toys Unit in their language arts curriculum this past week.
They read a letter to Mrs. Huntress about the toys they prefer and the key ideas they had learned about toys.
Then each child shared a picture that he or she had drawn and told why it was a favorite.
Every child did a fantastic job of sharing his or her learning!
Way to go, CCE kindergarten!

Sleds for recess!



Come join us for our STEM Family Fun Night in January 19th.

4th Grade was awarded for their hard work and good behavior by getting to pie Mrs. Roberts in the face. Fun was had by all Mavs! 💛❤️




Our little Mavs were “snow” magnificent at the winter concert! 🎷



Don't miss the CCE Winter Concert!

Grandparent's Day With Kindergarteners.




Fourth grade went caroling in Hartley today at the nursing home and assisted living. They brought smiles, Holiday Spirit, and some singing, to the resident’s faces! :)




CCE celebrated Computer Science Education Week this week. Our tech expert, Mrs. Ulrich, visited Mrs. Key’s Kindergarten on Tuesday and students spent time learning to code. Other grades worked with Finch Robots and microbits to refine their coding abilities. Way to go, Mavericks!




The Winter Concert has been rescheduled to Thursday, December 15th at 6:30PM. The weather was a bit too frightful for the original date! Please join us for an evening of delightful music performed by all of the elementary students!

Reminder tomorrow is the last day to bring things for the Giving Tree Project.

Kindergarten countdown to Christmas, eight days left. Playing with Santa's beard.


We had a great time at the last basketball club! Thank you to everyone who helped out during these last few weeks!




CCE Winter Concert

Mrs. Hicks 6th graders began a service learning project this week at People for Pets in Spencer. Students groomed cats, walked dogs, and socialized with them all. It was tough to tell who enjoyed themselves more, the kind-hearted kids or the sweet animals. ❤️




First week of basketball for the athletic club went great! It is amazing watching these students learn how to be good sports while having fun after a school day!




Please RSVP by Friday, November 11th.

A big shout-out goes to Adam Nielsen, our visiting artist, at Mavericks Create on Tuesday! Adam shared his work and skills with ceramics. Students were encouraged to build pinch pots and then experiment with clay during their time in art club. Thanks Adam for your time!!!
