Thanks for a GREAT Year!

Thanks to all the parents, grandparents, extended families, Winside Superintendent/Elementary Principal Mr. Jeff Messersmith, Elementary Computer Specialist Mrs. Barb Kollath, all the staff at Winside, and the First Graders for making this another GREAT year!


This summer I will be spending 20 days at the Northeast Research and Extension Center in Concord working with scientists from the University of Lincoln to develop curriculum around the soybean.  One of the perks of this adventure is $500.00 worth of materials for the classroom.  Materials include a video flip camera, plant stand, grow lights, books, and classroom experiments.  As I told the First Graders, the really great part of this is that their second grade teacher Mrs. Stubbs is also part of this project so they will directly benefit from the project next year!  I also have a week's worth of miscellaneous workshops including reading, writing, technology, and science.  Before I know it, fall (my favorite season) will be here!


Please encourage your special First Grader to continue reading, practice those math facts, and if you have Internet access, use the Education City website.  If you lose the password or site address, just give me a call.  I took that info home with me.  :)


Have an enjoyable, refreshing, and relaxing summer!


Your partner in education,
Ms. Loetscher
