A Little Information about Mr. Wood

Hello!  My name is Caleb Wood.  I teach Earth Science, SPA, and STEM at OABCIG High School.  I am originally from Tolono, IL; approximately 3500 people live there.  I am excited to live and teach in the community of Ida Grove!

​

I graduated from Iowa State University with a B.S. in Meteorology during Spring 2019 and a Master's of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T) with an emphasis in science education during the Spring 2020 semester.  I have Iowa state licensure in both Earth Science and Basic Science.  

​​

Although the entire globe is full of miraculous wonders, I am particularly fond of weather and climate phenomena!  I am a weather fanatic when it comes to severe weather, blizzards, and hurricanes.  My passion to explain the natural world around us drives my classes forward and brings enthusiasm to my students.

​

Aside from teaching, I am an avid Chicago Cubs fan!  Baseball has been my favorite sport to watch for a long time.  I also am a big runner and regularly compete in community road races.  Reading a good book is something I cherish as well.
