Jenna Stevens with Ag in the Classroom visited Delwood last week. Our fifth grade students worked on developing drink flavors. This team developed the winning combination for a new drink flavor! Natalie helped come up with the name. They called it “Bluelicious”!
Our second grade students spent the morning at Camp Read-A-Lot!
Our kindergarten, first and second grade classes went to the Maquoketa Library to learn about their summer reading program this week. They also went to Little Bear Park, where they had lunch and spent some time playing!
Our three year old preschool students have been enjoying some camping activities in their classroom. They have gone fishing, grilled some food, built a campfire and roasted marshmallows. They have also enjoyed sleeping in the tent during rest time!
Our fifth and sixth grade students went to Chicago last week. They visited the Brookfield Zoo and the Museum of Science and Industry.
There's nothing better than ice cream on a hot day! Our first grade class enjoyed making and eating ice cream today!
The 2nd grade class put on their safety goggles and became "mad scientists" in STEM this past week. Following the scientific method, they defined a question, made predictions, conducted an experiment, made observations, and drew conclusions. Judging from their expressions, they may have been a bit surprised that this crazy, fun experiment was done using common household items.
Due to a scheduling conflict the Delwood May School Board Meeting has been moved from 5/15/23 to 5/16/23 at 5:30 pm. Thank you.

Rain earlier today meant inside recess. Thanks to our amazing PTO, we have an amazing array of new activities and games for our students to enjoy when the weather keeps us inside!
Three of our third grade students competed in Battle of the Books last week. They finished in third place!
Our first and second grade classes had an amazing field trip to Eden Valley this week! They started the day with a hike of the trails where they learned about several different flowering plants and how to spot poison ivy! Students enjoyed the look out tower and the swinging bridge. They also toured the Nature Center, where they saw live animals.. Students learned about all 5 animal groups and even got to see a real hawk! They spent time at the park, played nature games and made leaf rubs! Clinton County Conservation delivered an amazing experience for our students!
