On Wednesday, January 23rd our day began in Manilla at the IKM Middle School. I was the guest speaker for the entire student body of 5th through 8th graders and my topic, leadership and responsibilities! They were a friendly audience and the teachers helped out a great deal by adding additional avenues for the conversation to head.
I had met many of the teachers the night before in Manning at the reception for the beginning of a new era where Manning and IKM will join as one district next year. It was great to see the teachers on their own "turf" doing their magic, working with students!
The Lincolnway UniServ Unit Tour continued in IKM with a visit to the elementary building in Irwin. Here I had the chance to read a "p" book on penguins to Bonnie Cairney's Pre-School class. They were just so cute!
Next, I read to Sally Simdorn’s class who had a substitute teacher for the day. Here are the classroom of 4th graders (on the left)!
The next read aloud was in the homeroom of Jennifer Rasmussen. Jennifer and her 1st grade are pictured on the right.
Next, I read aloud to Tanya Gaer's homeroom. Tanya and her 2nd graders are pictured on the left.
The final classroom read aloud here in Irwin was in the homeroom of Dian Schmiedeskamp. Dian and her 1st graders are pictured on the right.
Thanks for your hospitality, IKM! Your students are receiving a top-notch education because of your leadership! Thanks for all you do for Iowa's students!
