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!

🥞📚 Second graders were inspired by their recent Paul Bunyan story to make “colossal pancakes” in celebration of their unit on fairy tales and tall tales!
First grade is learning about the human body. We made our own hand x-rays.
Here are some pics from 2nd grade's culminating tall tales/fairy tales unit. We made colossal pancakes like in our Paul Bunyan story.
3rd-grade students had a tea party to celebrate the end of their first reading unit, Wind in the Willows. Students enjoyed some treats, a photo booth, and even some English tea!
Mrs. Bartlett’s Little Pirates at Nelson Elementary enjoyed the latest lesson in the Healthy Minds Innovations curriculum!
They planted grass seeds in a cup with their picture on it and used kind words and actions to help them (and others) grow. They will be elated to see the grass grow to look like their hair!
A properly fitted backpack can make a big difference in a child's comfort and overall health.

To celebrate Earth Day, Miss Dahl's 3rd grade class learned about ways they can help the environment in our daily lives. To put those practices in action, students decorated reusable bags, got seeds to plant that attract pollinators, received a book, and spent the afternoon picking up trash!
GES Students Witness the ‘Cycles of Nature’
Mrs. Polzine’s second-grade class welcomed six baby chicks into their classroom as their “Cycles of Nature” unit came to a close. The eggs were gifted to the class and nurtured through the hatching process by the group of curious and adoring students.
The unit was led by Mrs. Polzine and student teacher Mrs. Nelson. Students were responsible for rotating the eggs in the incubator and tracked the life cycle by journaling their observations and predictions. Not wanting students to miss anything, a live stream was established for the hatching process that spanned several days. The students’ enthusiasm was spreading as other classrooms and friends tuned in to watch, too!
“The excitement was contagious and the students were all in,” said Mrs. Polzine. “The daily trips in to care for the chicks over spring break were worth the energy for the experience it brought to the classroom.”
