The fifth graders in Ida Grove and Odebolt have been learning about the Civil War recently, so on Monday, January 27, they were able to meet three local Civil War reenactors. Terry Gerdes, Barry Bergman, and Keith Mentzer taught the students more about camp life, the cavalry, and the weapons used during the war. After their learning sessions, students gathered outside to witness a small replica cannon being shot (using blanks). We appreciate the men from 2nd Battery Iowa who spent the day sharing their expertise with the fifth grade students at OABCIG.
OABCIG Community School District will dismiss at 1:00 P.M. on Friday, January 25, for staff to participate in professional development.
The first grade classes in Ida Grove and Odebolt are learning about Creature Features in our reading curriculum, Wit and Wisdom. To help broaden our learning, Ben from the Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines came on Thursday to share more information about animal adaptations. Students were able to see a tortoise and a leopard gecko and even got to touch the fur from other animals that are available to see at the zoo. Thank you to Edward Jones in Ida Grove and the United Bank of Iowa in Odebolt for helping sponsor this fun learning opportunity for the students!

OABCIG First Grade Classes got to learn and tour the Woodbury Library Bookmobile. The Bookmobile started in 1950 and now has over 3000 books that people can check out. It's a library on wheels. The first grade classes in their first module of Wit and Wisdom, reading curriculum, learned all the ways that books travel to children all over the world. We learned that there are traveling libraries by donkeys, horses, motorcycles, bookmobiles, wagons, ships, and bikes. And we asked ourselves, "How do books change people's lives?". The Ida Grove School PTP donated to the Woodbury Library Bookmobile. Thanks PTP!!!
OABCIG has immediate openings for Kitchen Staff.

The yearbook will be delivered before the end of the school year allowing the students the fun opportunity to have their friends and teachers sign their copy.
