Mrs. Grieme's 3rd grade classroom shared their Celebration of Learning with the 5th grade today after they finished reading Peter Pan. In a comic strip format, students had to narrate and illustrate an addition adventure building off the events from the book! Great stories share by all today!
Continuing with a focus this year on agriculture lessons in the classroom, we had a visit from the Seed Survivor mobile classroom by Nutrien visit on Monday. Students got to get their hands dirty learning about agriculture in Iowa and surrounding areas. They played games learning about technology and nutrients. Thank you for visiting Schaller Crestland.

Mrs. Todd’s science class wrapped up their chemical reactions unit in the best way possible…by baking chocolate chip cookies! 🍪
Students explored how ingredients transform through chemical reactions—mixing, heating, and observing changes firsthand. From dough to delicious, they saw science come to life right in the classroom.
Hands-on learning like this not only builds understanding, it makes it stick (and taste pretty great too). Nice work, Mrs. Todd and students! 👏

**ELITE STAFF SHOUT OUT**
The Schaller-Crestland district is losing one of a kind! Tami has been so much more than the person behind the meals—she has been a steady source of kindness, positivity, and encouragement for everyone who walked through the lunch line. Her warm smile, fun spirit, and genuine care for others made our school a better place every single day.
Tami, thank you for the countless ways you’ve supported our students and lifted up our staff. You will be deeply missed, but we are so excited for this next chapter in your life. Wishing you all the joy and relaxation you deserve during retirement! 💙
