We had lots of fun today in Ms. King's class at our Holiday Party! We had an ornament exchange, decorated cookies, made gingerbread houses, and ate lots of yummy snacks while watching the Polar Express!
Some of Mrs. Julson's first graders were ready to spread holiday cheer in matching outfits!
You never know what cool creations will pop up in Mrs. Julson's first grade class!
Ms. Thompson's First Graders earned 4k Play Day!!! They LOVED getting to spend time back in the 4k classrooms with all of the fun 4k toys!
Thank you to Ms. Falkner and Mrs. Kitchner for having us!! It was so, so fun! 🤩💙
Mrs. Berger's class was festive today for Tree Topper Day! 🎄
Mrs. Martin's 4th graders had a blast using what they know about fractions to create oobleck!
Ms. Thompson's First Graders made Class Christmas Cards and learned how to write out an envelope and mail cards! They then walked to the post office to mail their cards to their families! 🎄💌
Mrs. Julson's first graders addressed Christmas cards to send to our families. Oh, the joy in mailing some holiday cheer!
Mrs. Muehlbauers 4th grade class helped to celebrate a 100th birthday and handed out Christmas cards to residents at Hillview Senior Living.

Our elementary students had the opportunity to participate in a Thanksgiving break bingo activity. The bingo board included gratitude challenges and a home behavior matrix to fill out, similar to what each classroom uses at school. Families worked together to create expectations for being safe, respectful, and responsible during different parts of the day (e.g., mealtime, playtime, etc.).
All students who turned in their completed bingo board were entered into a drawing for a McT’s gift card. Thank you to the Student Council for providing the prizes! Congrats to the winners!
Thank you Mondovi PTA for the awesome wobble stools! We are loving them in Ms. King's class!
Mrs. Ebner's class drafted NFL teams at the beginning of the year and wrote letters to the teams!
4K Shaving Cream Fun!
Mrs. Kitchner’s classes had a blast exploring shapes, letters, numbers, and even practicing their names during this engaging, multi-sensory activity. In 4K, play and learning go hand in hand, and this was the perfect hands-on experience for our youngest little buffaloes!
Fourth grade swooping teamwork skills with puzzles.
Mrs. Kitchner's 4K students sure have a lot to be thankful for! Happy Thanksgiving from these cute little turkeys!
Mrs. Julson’s first graders are ready for the Thanksgiving Day parade!
Each month the elementary school meets in groups called Herds. We have 35 different groups with kids from 5K-5th grade in each group. The groups stay the same each year with the exception of the 5th graders leaving and new 5K students joining. It's a great way to build a sense of community and build relationships.
A large focus of the meetings is introducing a new character trait to work on for the month. The trait for September was "good choices" and in October we worked on "cooperation." We then choose one student from each grade level and one staff member who best displays those traits throughout the month.
Today we had an all-school assembly to recognize our winners. Congrats to you all!
Not pictured for "good choices" is Mrs. Ness.
4K families had some very special visitors during their annual "Dads & Donuts" event held in October. Our visitors spent time eating donuts, reading stories, playing BINGO, and visiting with other 4K families! Thank you to those who were able to attend - it sure meant a lot to our youngest little buffaloes! 💙🦬🍩
We hope you all had a GREAT Halloween this past weekend! These 4K friends enjoyed dressing in their costumes, parading in different classrooms, playing Halloween BINGO, having a dance party and eating yummy snacks! 🎃🐝💙
It was a great day to go on a leaf hunt! Mrs. Kitchner's 4K classes hunted for different colored leaves that were all different sizes and shapes! We are taking advantage of these beautiful fall days before the snow flies! 🍁🍂☀️🐝
