Center Point-Urbana Elementary


My second stop of the day on Wednesday, February 22nd was at Center Point-Urbana Elementary in Center Point. With stop watch in hand is Diana Lamphier, elementary physical education instructor. Diana is the current past president of the Center Point-Urbana EA, but continues assisting in building association membership. Thanks, Diana for all you do!

I had a chance to observe a guidance class lesson with 4th graders led by Elementary Counselor and association member, Sue Stonerook. Thanks, Sue for the great lessons and activities you provide for students!



One of the most delightful memories I'll hold of Center Point-Urbana Elementary is Cindy Baumgartel's Pre-School Special Education classroom. Pictured (at left) with teacher Cindy is a few of her students, all dressed in "island" garb. One of Cindy's teacher associates had just returned from a cruise, so the class shared in some of the fun the teacher associate leader had in her time away.

Earlier in the day all joined in rolling up their pant legs and stepping into a wading pool to catch plastic crabs and fish with their toes. What a great way to have an experience of using those fine motor skills! You're providing well planned educational experiences that the children will always remember. Thanks, Cindy!
