Central Elementary School

Central 1st graders love to read!

Green Eggs and Ham anyone? Central students enjoying their Read Across America lunch on March 2nd.

Just a reminder: School is IN SESSION this Friday! In an earlier version of our school calendar, it was previously noted as a teacher development day. The calendar has since been revised and we are in school on Friday!

Students in 1st grade really worked on collaborating, communicating, critical thinking, and creativity as they were challenged with creating their own Yertle the Turtle and then stacking each of them!

2nd-graders love CHAMPS Club on Wednesday afternoons!

Every year, PHS 4th year Spanish students visit the elementary schools and teach a Spanish lesson to elementary students. The teachers love seeing their former students walking the halls of Central again and the elementary students LOVE learning from high school students! What could be better?!

Last Friday, our wonderful Mr. Wheeler hosted Central's All Pro Dad Breakfast. Over 150 people attended and were served breakfast. It was such a fun time for Central families!

This past week, Mrs. Todd's class Read One Plastic Bag: Isatou Ceesay and the Recycling Women of the Gambia. The second graders then repurposed plastic bags into friendship bracelets!

Did you know that every month Central students have the opportunity to earn CHAMPS tags? CHAMPS stands for: C-caring H-honesty A-achievement M-making good choices P-prepared to learn S-safety Mrs. Thacker and Mrs. Slavens love getting to come into the classrooms to present the CHAMPS tags to students!

1st graders enjoyed their February Odyssey at the Imagination Lab!

Last week, 1st grade students enjoyed reading "Before the Railroad Came" and then dressing up as cowboys and cowgirls to end their special Western-themed week!

As a part of learning about our local leaders and government, 2nd grade students welcomed Plainfield Town Manager, Andrew Klinger. Mr. Klinger shared about Plainfield and his job as our Town Manager.

Students had so much fun enjoying celebrating TWOSday!

After learning about the planets and solar system, kindergarten students became authors of their very own planet books. Afterwards, they of course got to share and read their book with their classmates!

While learning about erosion, 4th graders put their minds together while using the Design Thinking process to complete a soil erosion challenge!

Kindergartners combining the 4C's and their math skills by coding with Blue Bots and counting on their light table!

While learning about the Boston Tea Party, 5th-grade students were tasked with designing a crate that would carry tea while keeping it dry! It had to endure rough currents and intense winds as well!

Congratulations to Mailee, Central's value winner for the month of January/Equal Opportunity!

Central students enjoyed celebrating at our Valentine parties!
