A Visit to Midland Community School District


On Wednesday afternoon March 12th JDC UniServ Director Bob Brown and I head to Oxford Junction to the elementary building of Midland Community School District.

We had the opportunity to meet some of the sweetest little children in Bonnie Holst-Cummings' homeroom of Kindergarteners. That one little sweetie pie (in the pink-2nd row) kept throwing me kisses! I read aloud to the group before leaving them with our ISEA mood pencils.




We next were off to Lost Nation to visit intermediate center for the elementary of Midland Community School District.




Association leader Anita Mohr (pictured at left) met us in the office to welcome us. She gave us a tour of the building that had been converted over the summer from a middle school to an intermediate level elementary building.

Mrs. Mohr had students demonstrate several of the learning strategies they use in her pull-out program in Special Education. We saw a computer program they use for word processing as well as many other print materials in place.

We met many enthusiastic educators as well as hard-working students today. Thanks Midlands for all you do for Iowa's students!
