A quick summary...for a short week!

Welcome Elizabeth!  We have a new student who joined Mrs. Bender's class this week.  Elizabeth Sansen began at Kalona on Monday.  We have enjoyed having her in class.


A fun visitor!  Miss Flynn came back and spent Thursday visiting.  It was fun seeing her and listening about her new job.

  • Math: We finished up the fraction chapter today.  Our next unit will work on multiplying two and three digit problems.  Keep on those multiplication facts!  Due to the lack of practice tests being returned, we now will begin adding that score to the final grades.  They should do a 1/2 sheet of practice every night.
  • Reading: We have finished up our novel unit Dear Levi and have begun our new novel unit, The Legend of Jimmy Spoon.  In this story we follow the life of a pioneer boy who runs away to live with the Indians.  Lots of fun adventures!



Singing in Spanish class
  • Science: We wrapped up our water unit this week.  The kids finished their research and also began presenting their results of their experiments.
  • All three of the eaglets are out of their shell.  Check out the website over spring break, they are changing daily!
  • Mrs. Brenneman: Mrs. Brenneman now has an email account.  Feel free to contact her directly, or continue contacting Mrs. Bender if you have any questions.  bbrenneman@mid-prairie.k12.ia.us
  • Notes when home today about Mrs. Hartsock's baby shower.  Contact Denise Busch if you have any questions.  dbusch@mid-prairie.k12.ia.us
