During this activity, preschoolers had the opportunity to thread beads on to pipe cleaners and follow a card to create a simple pattern. This activity builds key fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and early math concepts for students.

Threading or lacing activities in preschool help young children build critical fine motor control, hand-eye coordination, and cognitive skills. During this activity, students had the opportunity to thread string through letter beads. This was a challenge, but one that was overcome with persistence and perseverance. ☺️
Congratulations to the August FFA Members of the month!

Our school is made special by the incredible people who teach, encourage, support, and care for our students every day!
Over the coming weeks, we’ll be shining the spotlight on some of the amazing teachers, staff, and faculty who make Deshler Public Schools such a wonderful place to learn and grow. We hope you enjoy getting to know the people who make up our school family a little better. Today, we’re kicking off our Staff Spotlight series by introducing Mrs. Renste Moeller!
You may know Mrs. Moeller as our 6-9th grade English teacher, but how well do you really know her? We are so thankful to have Renste as part of the Deshler Public Schools family!
Thank you for all you do for our students, our school, and our community.
Help us celebrate Renste in the comments! 👏

Kindergarten scientists!
Today, the kindergarten students began their first science unit. They found items on the playground and decided if they were hot or less hot! Later in this unit, the students will get to explore how the sun changes Earth's surface. The kindergarten class will also get to build structures that could protect Earth from the sun. It was a great first lesson!
Recently in Preschool we started working in ABC and number journals. These journals offer structured, hands-on practice that builds foundational literacy, numeracy, and fine motor skills.
Handwriting in preschool helps young children build vital fine motor skills, recognize letters faster, and activate brain networks needed for early reading. During handwriting, students are asked to lay on their stomach as this is a highly effective occupational therapy technique that builds the foundational physical skills required for successful preschool writing. ✍️
After a crazy few weeks, we finally have time to reflect on the Thayer County Fair and the accomplishments of our FFA members.
Results of the FFA Shows are listed here. These awards could not have been earned without many hours spent working with their animals. Congratulations to these exhibitors!
