Central Elementary School

Just a reminder--ALL Plainfield Schools will be CLOSED on Monday, April 8 for a Teacher Professional Development Day. We encourage all of our families to take advantage of safely experiencing the solar eclipse!

We love mystery readers at Central! Adults sign up to read to the class and provide the students with 3 clues about themselves. Students try and guess who the mystery reader is right before they come in and share a favorite book!

4th graders recently took part in Operation Day where their classrooms were completely made over into hospitals! Students spent the day problem solving through different types of collaborative tasks and had so much fun. Mr. Setterlof even entered one of the hospitals as a patient in need of treatment! Our 4th grade teachers (and students) rock!

3rd graders enjoying their time at The Imagination Lab!

3rd graders in all 4 classrooms have been reading Who Was? biographies with a partner and then creating their very own research biography of their influential person. They've really enjoyed learning about athletes, scientists, artists, activists, Native Americans, writers, and more!

Thanks to our amazing Central Elementary for such a wonderful and engaging Literacy Week and Literacy Night last week! Families loved coming to Central "after hours" to have some fun reading with "Let's Glow Read" night! Our PTO rocks!

4th and 5th grade students love having the opportunity to participate in our Battle of the Books competition yearly. This afternoon, the two final teams competed to be Central's champion. Tomorrow, the champs from each elementary will battle it out for the district wide Battle of the Books trophy! Good luck to all teams!
