5th grade students used Micro:bits to create automated watering systems to grow microgreens. They coded their system to sense soil moisture and water their plant as needed. Students researched their selected microgreen to learn how to code their system to produce the ideal growing conditions to successfully grow their plants.

Reminder...
What was your favorite after school snack?
S.A.L.T. students put on "We Are Silent" which took place on Tuesday, January 17th. The purpose of "We Are Silent" is to bring awareness to issues that may have caused others to lose their voice, sense of agency, or control in a situation. Students paid $1 to participate. Causes that students chose to stay silent for included mental health, human trafficking, child abuse, sexual assault, and equal rights.
Fifty-six students participated; by the end of the day only ten students remained silent for the entire school day. Staying silent, even for part of the day, was a good reminder to students on the importance of being able to use your voice and having a say.
Proceeds from Tuesday's "We Are Silent" event are being donated to the CRMC Care Center.
Twenty-three C-I students traveled to CLC (Staples Campus) on Friday, January 13th to participate in the 7-9th Grade Knowledge Bowl Competition. Three of the C-I teams placed in the top 5, earning 2nd place, 3rd place, and 4th place out of 16 teams. An 8th grade team also took home the School Spirit Award for demonstrating the best school-pride!
In science, second graders are discovering the properties of liquids.
Live Unified Day- A day to rally around inclusion, kindness and the unified movement.
Who loves to read?
First graders in Mrs. Hillsdale's class, that's who!
Last week, students in the library listened to the book "The Mitten" by Jan Brett. Afterwards, they were able to design their own mittens and decorate the library with them!

SKOL! Staff and students wore their purple and gold on Friday.
Crosby-Ironton Transportation is in need of drivers!
If you have ever thought about becoming a bus driver, now is the time to become one! There are multiple openings at C-I. Please, contact the bus garage during the hours of 6:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. to learn more about the opportunities available.
*PSA- If these positions can't get filled, routes will be merged, causing much longer bus routes for students. Activities will be cancelled due to the shortage of drivers.
How many halves make a whole?
Just ask the students in Mrs. Fort's 3rd grade class. They started working with fractions this week!
Mrs. Pecha's 9th grade Civics classes participated in a Mock Trial this week.
Students were split up into 4 teams: judges, jury, prosecution, and defense.
2 out of 3 of the Civics classes voted that SpongeBob did indeed kill Mr. Krabs!
Families and Students 7-12 grade:
Starting second semester, the secondary school is going back to requiring all students who are absent from school for 1 or more classes to get an “ADMIT SLIP” from the office when they return. Students will show the admit slip to the teachers of the classes from which they were absent. If the absence is excused, then the student will be given the opportunity to make up all of the missed work. If the absence is unexcused, then the student will not be allowed to make up the missed work until the absence is excused by a parent or guardian.
Our reasoning for returning to the use of Admit Slips is to help cut down on the number of students skipping classes. Skipping has become a problem at all grade levels and we feel that we need to increase the accountability for our students. It is extremely important that parents contact the office attendance line to excuse absences as soon as possible to avoid complications and delays for your students in making up their missing work after an absence.
The attendance line number is 218-545-8802, press 2 for HS office, then 1 for the Attendance line. You can also email an office secretary at bzender@ci.k12.mn.us, ekruse@ci.k12.mn.us or deuteneuer@ci.k12.mn.us. Please feel free to email or call if you have any questions.
Students at CRES...
