Have a wonderful Spring Break!!!
Third grade has been working on their Economics unit for the last couple of weeks. We finished by producing our own products to sell, and Tuesday was buy/sell day! We had fun and learned a few things in the process.
Students completed a culminating activity for the Ancient Kush and Ancient Egypt chapter by writing and illustrating children’s stories designed to help younger students understand these ancient cultures. First, students completed an outline from the chapter that organized and identified the key information that needed to be included in their stories. Next, they wrote a narrative set in ancient times in which the main character explored the cultures of Ancient Egypt and Ancient Kush. Students followed the writing process by drafting, editing, and publishing their stories. Finally, they used Magic School AI and School AI to generate images that illustrated their stories. Then with their final products, sixth graders presented to PreK-3rd grade.
Our 6th-grade students have been working hard learning about volcanoes in science class! After completing the chapter reading, students participated in an engaging, interactive activity to reinforce their vocabulary. Working with a partner, students created examples and illustrations to represent assigned vocabulary terms. It was great to see students collaborating, applying their learning, and having fun while deepening their understanding of the content!
Today in Ms Moore's 1st grade we worked by camp light, read in the book tent and candled our eggs for hatching. Looks like we will have some chicks by Easter. Way to go 1st grade
On Tuesday KG had their yearly field trip and while getting off the bus our driver let us know that these kids were the BEST kids she's ever had on her bus! To reward them for such phenomenal behavior and to celebrate the upcoming holiday over spring break we watched a movie and made a yummy green snack... complete with GOLD sprinkles!

Dear EMS Families,
As we begin planning for the upcoming school year, I want to share information regarding classroom teacher requests for next year.
Families who would like to request a specific classroom teacher must first schedule an appointment with Dr. Meier to discuss the request.
During this meeting, families will be asked to share an educationally relevant reason for the request.
While requests will be thoughtfully reviewed, no teacher placement can be guaranteed, as final class assignments are made to ensure balanced classrooms and the best learning environment for all students.
If you would like to request an appointment, please contact the school office to schedule a meeting or email me at bmeier@usd339.net
The teacher request window will be open from March 9th to March 30th.
Warm regards,
Dr. Bobbie Meier

3rd and 4th graders had a special reader today during their Read-A-Thon in the gym.
Primary Wing had a Dr. Seuss fun packed week with reading and crafting. On Friday, Dr Kempf, Dr. Meier and Ms Wisler read to the kids. Teachers cooked green eggs and ham for the class, leaving them begging for more. Then the students rotated to each primary class for more stories and activities. Ending the day with a blue and red Jell-O snack, leaving the teachers ready for a nap. Thanks JCN!
