Keith Lehne’s students are learning about the U.S. economy! 🇺🇸

This week has been established by the WI School Bus Association as School Bus Driver Appreciation Week! This commemorative week recognizes all school transportation personnel who are involved in the highest standards of safe practices to assure the protection of their passengers, our state's most precious cargo- its children. In Wisconsin, there are more than 12,000 school bus drivers who safely transport more than 400,000 students to and from school each day and travel a total average of 144 million miles per year. This week is an excellent opportunity for students, parents, teachers, administration and our community to show appreciation to these dedicated individuals. These drivers are true heroes ensuring our children have a safe and reliable ride to an and from school every day. We are honored to recognize our drivers and contractors! THANK YOU - Rick, David, Todd, Joel, Lisa, Noah, Kevin, Scott, Virginia, Rich, Duane, Dylan, Angie, Jason, Kara, Karl, Duane, and Wendy! THANK-YOU!!

Our kindergarten students recently celebrated the ending of their unit on Kings and Queens with a Royal Tea Party! They dressed up like Royalty, ate Royal Treats, had fun using a green screen to "visit" a palace, made a royal crown craft, watched Cinderella, and so much more!
Fries go good with everything!!! And today 1 cup of French Fries were pared with 10 Chicken Smackers, 1 package of gold fish crackers, 3/4 cup of corn, 1/2 cup mixed fruit, an orange and milk!
Fry-science (not taught by Mr. Berg or Ms. Twohy)-- French fries were invented in Beligum, not France! The term "french fries" came from American soldiers during WWI. The average American consumes 30 pounds of french fries in a year! Originally, french fries were traditionally served with mayonnaise, not ketchup! Two men from Buffalo, NY hold the world record for the largest fry-- 34 inches long!! Although there are rumblings one might be out there that is longer! Can you find it???
Thanks to our Food Service staff for these fun and insightful posts this week!
The 2nd Grade, Westward Expansion Unit was all about westward expansion and the early pioneers' journeys along the Oregon Trail.
They gained an understanding of how this development impacted the Native American tribes. 2nd graders also learned about inventions made along the way that made the voyage easier, faster, and more convenient.
As a culminating activity, they watched the movie "Spirit," made their own butter, enjoyed it on bread, and also made their own spinner games (similar to those played on the Oregon Trail).
You can call it "basketti"... or "pasgetty"... or "tomato noodles"... no worries!
Spaghetti is the Italian fare that's a favorite with most Americans! Did you know that spaghetti was "invented" over 1000 years ago? Or that the largest ever serving of spaghetti filled a swimming pool? The world record for the largest bowl of spaghetti is held by the Buca di Beppa restaurant in Garden Grove, California. In March 2010 they filled a swimming pool with more than 6,251 kg of pasta and 100 gallons of marinara sauce! Our lunch ladies make a lot of spaghetti for our students but not enough to fill the Community Pool! Hmmm... or DO they????
We had spaghetti today-- each student received 1 cup spaghetti, 2/3 cup of marinara sauce, 1 cup of lettuce salad with choice of dressings, 3/4 cup green beans, an apple, a banana, breadstick and milk.
The Grantsburg Elementary School Physical Education department is proud to announce that they recently awarded their mid-year Good Sport medals to the following students: Gabe Tyberg, Delilah Martini, Mary Vindish, Jaylinn Trenter, Jian Corrigan, Kayden Schmidt, Aiden Ayohua-Hernandez, Josslyn Danielson, and Lydia Steck. On a daily basis, these students demonstrated virtues in class such as fairness, self-control, integrity, courage, and persistence. In addition, they showed tremendous interpersonal skills by treating others fairly while respecting themselves, classmates, staff and equipment. Congratulations to these fine students on being terrific role-models for everyone around them!
