Ms. Skiba is another new teacher here at Starry! See the message from her below!
"My name is Ms. Skiba, and this is my first year at Starry and teaching! I am originally from Illinois, but I now live in Cedar Rapids. In my free time outside of school, I enjoy watching movies and eating movie theater popcorn! I am excited for this school year!"
As part of Starry's #pbis program, students are working towards a whole school reward! When a class receives 50 whole class dojo points, they will put up a piece of "chalk" that represents their class. When all classes put up their chalk, we will do a school wide sidewalk chalk party! #starryinspire #misdinspire

In science, first graders explored tuning forks and how vibrations create movement by touching them to the ping pong ball! #misdinspire #starryinspire
Last week, 2nd graders at Starry spent time with Red Cedar Chamber Music, a local music organization. The group visited classes during music on Monday and Tuesday. During this time, students were introduced to their instruments, learned about choices that composers make when they're creating music, and enjoyed listening to Red Cedar perform. A big highlight for many students was getting to feel the vibration of the cello as it played! They were so surprised! On Friday, each class took a field trip to the Granger House in Marion where they were given a brief tour of the museum, followed by a mini concert from Red Cedar in the parlor! #misdinspire #starryinspire
