The finale of Read Across America: role reversal day!!! Students had fun dressing as their favorite teachers, and teachers had fun reliving their childhoods and dressing like students. Thank you to all those who participated in this fun week. Enjoy your Spring Break!
Our crusaders are hard at work today! Their minds are 'under construction', and they always remember 'safety first!!'

Next week, Emerson Elementary will be celebrating Read Across America Week! We encourage our student and staff to participate in these fun "themed" dress-up days. Each daily theme is based on one of this year's Golden Sower Nominees. The dress-up themes are as follows: Monday- Witches and Wizards Day, Tuesday- Superhero Day, Wednesday- Safety Equipment Day, Thursday- Role Reversal Day, and Friday- NO SCHOOL!
Please remember if you are participating in these dress-up days all items and outfits need to be school appropriate. Also, we will have P.E., and most likely outside recess, so please make sure you dress accordingly.
Pictures will be posted throughout the week featuring the day's "best dressed."

We find Mrs. Luchsinger wearing many hats (and not just because it's winter 🥶)!
Whether she's checking out library books to students, leading WIN groups, or teaching keyboarding to our 2nd-4th graders, she always does it with a smile.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for our epic conclusion with Mrs. Luchsinger in the library. 😉
Another day filled with smiling faces and great memories! Today third graders got to spend time with their grandfriends making Valentine artwork and playing a few games.
Emerson students will be coming home with the Sweet Harvest popcorn. We want to thank everyone who supported Emerson and our PTO during this fundraiser.
Another fun day full of memories! Second graders were able to spend some time yesterday with their grandfriends. Each student and their guest were able to "talk and tear" as they created a beautiful piece of artwork together. In the time remaining, students read their grandfriend Valentine's Day books on the Epic app on their iPads. A yummy lunch was enjoyed by all to finish off the day.

We find Mrs. Luchsinger and her students hard at work! This semester, all students are learning about research. First, they learn the difference between fiction and non-fiction and print and digital. Next, they either use a digital source or a print source to find facts they can cite on their research papers. Finally, they put what they've learned together in a project they can present to the class.
First graders researched penguins from a digital source, while second graders researched animals from print sources.
Be sure to tune in throughout the week to see what's happening in Emerson's library!
