Mrs. Arnold and Mrs. Deninger’s 3rd-5th grade ELL groups have been busy with lots of hands on, motivating and fun projects these last few weeks. All of these projects incorporated reading, writing, speaking and listening skills - the four
main domains of ELL education.

5th grade - researched a topic of their choice, created Google slideshow and coordinating Lego figure and presented to group.

4th grade - studied the regions, states and big cities of the U.S. through videos to stories to games and puzzles. Memorized which state goes where.

3rd grade - Volcano Eruption Day!! Studied volcano vocabulary, wrote about sequence of eruptions AND made these cool clay volcanos and used common kitchen items to make erupt! (Recipe included)

This morning we celebrated five Coralville Central staff with a “Final Bell” Celebration.

Miss Anne, Miss Mary, Miss Angie, Miss Becky, and Bonnie W.-G. (not pictured) will all be retiring. Each of them has brought goodness, kindness, patience, and laughter as they taught and helped your kids be good humans.

We wish each of you the best in your retirement!

Love,
Your Coralville Central Family

Here are some early morning photos from today’s Field Day PBIS Celebration!
While these photos show mostly kinders, the celebration today is mixed grades.
It’s always fun to see the older and younger kids having fun together.

Some questions you can ask your students when you talk to them after school:
What station was your favorite and why?
Did you try something you’ve never tried before?
What surprised you about Field Day?
Did someone help you today at Field Day? Did YOU help someone?
Did you and your class have to work together today?

Thank you to the Coralville Central PTO for paying for the inflatable! Coralville Central Parent Teacher Organization

Coralville Central is feeling proud of Bibisha for her important work, along with that of her friends! She is an alum of our school.

Congratulations to West High's 1440 Interact Club on receiving a 2026 Youth Human Rights Award at the City of Iowa City Youth Human Rights Awards! Members of the club have locally planted trees, supported non-profits with hands-on effort and financial assistance, visited folks in retirement residences, shown gratitude to staff and faculty at their school, collected personal hygiene items for the school pantry, and learned of needs in Africa and in Mexico and responded to those needs.
