Mrs. Vilstrup's class is counting down the last 12 days before Christmas break with a "12 Days of Kindness" countdown. They kicked off the 12 days of kindness by reading The 12 Days of Kindness by Jenna Lettice. Each day, students will have a kindness focus which includes some of the following activities: smile at someone in the hallway, write your principal a sweet note, play with a new friend at recess, and complete school work with a good attitude. The students look forward to their kindness task each day!

GES & Nelson have started a Kindness Campaign. Students, staff, and families are all working together to be "Bucket Fillers" and focus on kindness in the last few weeks leading up to break. We encourage families to send pictures to highlight all the good they are doing! Below are pictures people have already shared.

Nelson Primary & Grantsburg Elementary Staff like to share in the Halloween fun!
Kindergartners at Nelson Primary tested their sense of taste in a fun and engaging activity as part of their current unit on their five senses! Students tasted sour, sweet, bitter, and salty foods, and kept a record of whether they enjoyed the taste.
2nd Grade has been studying the states of matter. Yesterday’s focus was the state of gas.
Today we did a spooky experiment to see what would happen when we mix water, vinegar, and baking soda in a Frankenstein ziploc baggie.
It wasn’t the explosion they anticipated, but we observed the gasses expand and max out the bag!
3rd Grade went to Crex Meadows on a field trip this October. Students could trek through the pond to explore and identify invertebrates, a connection to our Animal Classification unit. Students also were able to learn and apply their knowledge of survival skills in activities such as building shelters!
