‘Parent Roundup’ Gets Families Involved at GES GES is proud to continue the tradition of providing family involvement opportunities. These open houses invite the school community into the building to learn about the curriculum and other programs, events, and resources GES provides. This year, second graders hosted a “Parent Roundup” to demonstrate their new knowledge of the westward expansion. Students led their families through making butter and constructed an updated version of a spinner toy. Students were able to play the board game version of the Oregon Trail and read a book together. These events are well attended and provide a great space for families to engage with one another!

1st & 2nd Graders Pair Up to Learn About Insects Grantsburg Elementary first and second graders paired up for a joint unit on insects. Using this unit to combine the two grades allows students to engage with others outside their immediate class and learn from each other. Students enjoyed creating fun bug hats, solving bug puzzles, and even playing educational bug games on their tablets!
