Our Kindergarteners had so much fun today at our holiday party! We played “toss the cookie”, designed our own ornament, and created a “jingle bell” bracelet! Unfortunately, no pictures were captured of our snowball fight at the end of the party!!! ❄️ Thank you to our volunteers!!
Our Kindergartners went gingerbread crazy this week! The teachers had fun switching classrooms and reading our favorite versions of the gingerbread man to each class! The highlight of the week was designing and building our own gingerbread houses! Thank you for our donations!!
Our Kindergarteners were so excited to share and learn about all of the special holidays and traditions around the world that our families celebrate! The Glowacki family was kind enough to come in and teach us some of their favorite Hanukah games and traditions! 🕎
Thank you Vo Family for sharing your Lunar New Year Traditions with our Elizabeth Ide First Graders!
Our “soft start” is one of our favorite ways to begin the day in Kindergarten! It’s a great opportunity to ease into the day, collaborate, and get your creative juices flowing with hands-on tasks!
Thank you Glowacki family for sharing your Hanukkah Holiday traditions with the Elizabeth Ide First Graders! 🕎
On Tuesday we had “Really Silly Day!” First Grade made Grinch masks and students wore silly hairdos and wacky socks. We had so much fun! #sillyday #wackyday #grinch #teambeseth
Today we celebrated “Beach Day!” It was our 1st of 5 spirit days before Winter Break. We dressed warm, drew sandcastles, and wrote about a day at the beach! #candycaneelf #teambeseth #beachday #theBinBREAK 🏝 🌊 🕶
First Graders have been working on their “How To” writing. ✍️ Last week, Team Beseth did “How To Make Pancakes!” We even made our own pretend pancakes out of paper. Yummy!! 🥞 #firstgrade #teambesethrocks #thismadeushungry

Our young authors are hard at work practicing the 5 steps of the writing process! We brainstormed and organized our ideas, wrote our first draft, and had fun editing and revising with our writing partners! ✏️
Our Kindergartners enjoyed the beautiful weather last week and went on a nature walk, collecting a variety of leaves to make our own Fall trees! 🍂
Every week we give out special paw winners for students showing prideful choices (respect, responsibility, and safety)! Way to go!
Honoring our veterans today! Thank you for sharing your experiences with our students. We are forever grateful for your courage and sacrifice!
