Thank you to the 7th-12th grade students for reading to our elementary students today! We love doing things school wide! Up next...Student Council Fun Day!
Eighth graders started a snowball fight today in class! After writing the first part of a Christmas/holiday-related story, they threw their crumbled papers to the center of the room, picked up a 'snowball' story, and started writing again, this time continuing a classmate's story. The kids worked hard to include story elements that we've been identifying this semester.
Don't forget to attend the Deshler Express when you are in town for the basketball games on Saturday!
