1. Valentine’s Day will be celebrated Thursday, February 11th. Students are invited to bring Valentine Cards to exchange with their classmates. If students are attaching a treat to their Valentine, please be sure it is store bought candy only at this time (no homemade treats/snacks.) Individual classroom teachers will send out more information on how their classes will celebrate.
2. Recess Attire – This is a reminder that the Elementary requires students to wear a coat if it is below 50 degrees at the time of recess. It has been an unseasonably warm winter but it is oftentimes not yet 50 degrees when classes attend recess in the morning or at lunch time. Thank you for your cooperation!
Our trout eggs arrived Friday! With the Trout in the Classroom program the fifth grade class received approximately 200 eggs that we will hatch and watch grow into fingerlings. We will also learn about their needs, life cycles, anatomy, and ecosystems.
This program is thanks in part to funding by Nebraska Game & Parks, The Nebraska Environmental Trust, Sports Fish Restoration Program, and Trout Unlimited!
First grade is showing off their Christmas spirit with Christmas socks today!
Learning got Grinchy today in second grade!
We studied the story, picked out the problem and solution, and talked about how the Grinch changed his behavior and made a good choice to be KIND. We look up to the Grinch for having a change of heart and choosing to be kind!
We had phonics Grinch style with green pencils and talked in Grinch voices! We made a diagram of the Grinch, wrote the room with words that start with g (especially our sight words!) and we did some Grinchy math!
Second Grade took a stroll to the nursing home to paint some Christmas cheer on the windows for the residents at Pioneer Manor.
Kindergarteners learned about congruent shapes using the geoboards.
