Third-grade student Izzy Peterson recently broke the Grantsburg Elementary school record for the flex-arm hang during winter Physical Education fitness testing. The old record was just set in the Spring of 2022 by Maleah Luke with a time of 132 seconds. Peterson broke Luke’s record by three seconds. Congrats Izzy!
Second grade has been learning about habitats and animal adaptations. We did an experiment called "blubber glove" to replicate how whales stay warm in the Arctic waters.
First graders made Aztec chinampas, which are "floating gardens" as they learned about the Aztec civilization.
Happy New Year!

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!
