Mrs. Kluever's 4th grade class explored nature and their creativity while collecting items from nature and creating art.
In Mrs. Rogers' second grade class our Teacher's Assistant leads the class each day in our daily calendar routine! We go over the date, days of the week, track the weather and our number of days we've been in school with song, movement, and visuals.
📚September i-Ready Accomplishments 🎉
i-Ready is an online program for mathematics that will help your student’s teacher determine your student’s needs, personalize their learning, and monitor progress throughout the school year. Students are supplied with lessons based on their individual skill level and needs, so your student can learn at a pace that is just right for them. These lessons are fun and interactive to keep your student engaged as they learn. Students participate in iReady in their classrooms or at home!
Students are recognized monthly throughout the school year and presented with a Culver's gift token after passing 25, 50, 75 and 100+ lessons.
Here is our group of milestone achievers from the months of August and September. Way to start the year strong!

Happy Boss's Day to our Principal, Mrs. Cady!
She's not just a "boss", she's a true leader! She treats everyone with respect, kindness and fairness. She supports her staff above and beyond. There is truly a job she wouldn't do in this building and most days she's doing a little bit of all of them!
We appreciate you, Mrs. Cady! ⚡

We did it again! We had 100% of students in attendance today.
Happy homecoming from Mrs. Gruber's Kindergarten class. We worked hard on our poster to show school spirit. Go Storm!
Everyday after lunch, our second grade class explores mindfulness through a yoga routine. This daily activity sets our mind, body, and calming tone for afternoon learning. Each day our "Share Day" student will lead the class in the routine!
Mrs. Ratliff's 1st graders ended their candy science unit making cotton candy in the classroom! Yum!
5th Grade students used VR headsets to take a virtual field trip to New York City, where we visited the 9/11 Museum and Memorial, as well as the Flight 93 Memorial near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. 🥽
Students had meaningful conversations about the events of September 11, 2001, with a special focus on remembering the courage, bravery, and acts of heroism shown by first responders, volunteers, and so many others.
It was a powerful day of learning, reflection, and remembrance.

🍉 From Our School Garden to Our 5th Grade Table! 🌱
Our 5th graders got to enjoy a special treat today—watermelon grown right here in our very own school garden! 🍉
Even more special? The watermelon seeds were planted by our current 5th graders when they were 4th graders last year! What a great way to see the fruits (literally!) of their hard work come full circle.
A huge thank you to our Garden Club members, Mrs. Peterson, and all of her helpers for picking the watermelons and sharing them with our students. And a very special thank you to Mrs. Spencer for cutting up the watermelon perfectly and getting it ready for everyone to enjoy!
There’s something pretty amazing about watching students plant a seed, care for it, watch it grow, and eventually get to enjoy the results together. 🌱➡️🍉
What a delicious reminder that hard work really does pay off! ❤️

Mrs. Blackert's kindergartners had a blast during Ag in the Classroom this week! They got to act out the life cycle of a butterfly, make their very own monarch caterpillars, and all on their own, they decided to prepare them for their chrysalis and hang them upside down around the classroom 😊 It was the perfect way to end our butterfly unit! 🐛🦋
3rd grade Mrs. Krug PE class has been playing foot golf . Here the students have completed their hole and are waiting to report their score. Foot golf is the same as golf except we use a soccer ball to kick to get into the hole instead of a golf ball.
3rd grade had their first Ag in the Classroom lesson last week! They learned all about each step of the butterfly's life cycle. Students were able to make a model to show each step. Fun was had by all!
