SHADE OUT DRUGS!

Mr. Messersmith Mummified?

The Winside Elementary met their AR goals for the first quarter so Mr. Messersmith agreed to be turned into a mummy!  All students helped in the process.  The second quarter AR theme is horses.

First Graders preparing for their marshmallow game

The boys and girls stuck a marshmallow to their foreheads and then rushed it to the first grade pail without it falling off. 

Wow!  The marshmallows are sticking really well! 

Let's get this show on the road!

It was also hat and freaky hair day!

Aunt Jane Visits!

Ms. Loetscher's Aunt Jane visited the classroom recently.  She was due to arrive at 12:30 p.m. but didn't make it until 2:30 p.m. since her plane was delayed.  The boys and girls located Aunt Jane's home state of Florida on their maps and plotted Aunt Jane's route.  They also learned about Aunt Jane's name and how it is a magic e syllable.  Aunt Jane read a book titled Apple Countdown.  She also left Yellow Delicious apples for the class to eat during milk time.  She had made a quick stop at Deck's Apple Orchard to get the apples.  Yummy!  They were sweet, crisp, and mouth-watering delicious! There is a possibility that Aunt Jane will be making a return visit.  The First Graders were amazed at how much Aunt Jane resembled Ms. Loetscher!  Must be genetics at work!

Fire Prevention Week

 Winside Kindergarten and First Grade students toured the Winside Fire Station during Fire Prevention week held in October.  Volunteer Firefighters Chris Olander, Kyle Skokan, and Don Skokan were on hand to give the boys and girls the full tour.  The community is very fortunate to have such an outstanding group of firefighters and EMT's!  The boys and girls left with life saving information, plastic fire hats, and water bottles.  Many thanks to the Winside Fire Department and EMT's!
