2ND GRADE
Second graders have finished up their work on erosion. After a visit from Ms. Heidi students understand the role water plays in the shaping of our world. We now have began a Social Studies unit on transportation. This week students learned about the history of transportation from how the wheel changed our movement and transporting of goods all the way to getting humans to space.
Math and Reading MAPS tests will be taken on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively. Please make sure our students are well rested and ready to show everything they have learned in second grade!
In reading and writing students are eagerly working on their animal projects and are very excited to share them with everyone!
On Friday, May 9, 2025, our second grade students will present their projects on animals! This will be a culminating activity and will put together their reading and writing skills that they will have mastered by the end of second grade. Please make time in your schedule at 2:00 on May 9th to join us. I know it means so much to our students when their parents are able to come see their hard work.
3RD GRADE
We will be taking the MAP test only for math this Tuesday, so please have your students rest and have a full breakfast that day.
On May 6th, we will be going to the fossil park in Rockford. We will be leaving at 8:30am so please make sure your child is on time that day. SAVE THE DATE for Tuesday, May 20th from 2:15-2:45 for our animal project showcase! We are working on animal adaptations and life cycles in science so this will be our culminating activity.
4TH GRADE
Students will showcase their learning at our annual bird fair that will take place on Wednesday, April 30th at 1:30. We hope you can attend. Ms. Boss and Mr. Paulson, the middle school band and orchestra teachers, have begun to make their appearances in our classroom. All children are being exposed to the instruments and will be given the opportunity to pick one if they so choose. More information will follow. In math we continue to work on fractions and are working on finding the lowest common denominator to compare fractions. Please continue to work with your child on multiplication basic facts as this continues to slow many down with the advanced math we are working on now.

LIBRARY
Please be sure to return all library books.
NURSES NOOK
Families of our current 2nd grade students will be receiving a vision screening letter and certificate in the mail this week.
Iowa law requires that students in kindergarten and third grade have a vision screening performed and documentation given to the school. Over 80% of learning is visual, so adequate vision is very important for success in school.
- Kindergarten - the screening should be done no earlier than 1 year prior to enrollment and no later than 6 months after enrollment.
- Third graders - the screening should be done no earlier than 1 year prior to the start of school and no more than 6 months after the start of school.
Please have your child's eye doctor OR primary health care provider complete the Vision Screening Certificate and return it to your child's school.
If you have any questions, please contact Nurse Bethany at 641-257-6560.
