The cold weather doesn’t impact valuable social time. Looks like fun second graders.
Create a game. Play and practice. What a creative way to teach subjects and predicates.
Reading Workshop at its best!
Independent reading, small group instruction, reading response and more. Great job third grade.
Thank you Zion Lutheran for your partnership. We appreciate our partnership not only for the easy parent pick up location, but for the water and treats as well! Thank you parents for respecting our neighbors and parking in the parking spots not along the sidewalk curb.
I would like to congratulate our 2018-2019 Student Council members. I look forward to the wonderful ideas and partnership this school year.

Mrs. Benkert's and Miss Meyers second graders completed an activity that required them to communicate and make a plan collaboratively as team. They increased their communication with each other, and used strategies to stack all the cups in one pile without touching the cups.

Third graders are using the Koma Koma app to learn all about animation using stop motion. This week students used Lego mini-figures to help tell their stories.

Fifth graders are getting to know the Dash robot by making obstacle courses for Dash to complete. This is a lead-in to learning to code Dash and also great for problem solving and teamwork.
