Emerson Elementary School

On today's episode of Eyewitness Emerson... Today, Mrs. Peterson was able to do some one-on-one progress monitoring with a few Emerson students. When students are progress monitored, they are asked to read some nonsense words, some common words, and perhaps even a short passage. This year, we have a new software program that tracks student data in real time. With her iPad, Mrs. Peterson is able to see each student's ability level based on the results of each test. Tune in on Friday to see what Mrs. Peterson will be up to next!

Emerson first graders colored pictures that will be attached to meals that are delivered through the Columbus Meals on Wheels program. Thank you Mrs. Warth for connecting us to this wonderful opportunity! We love helping our community!

On this week's episode of Eyewitness Emerson... We've moved on from classroom teachers, to specialist teachers!

Be sure to tune in to see what great things she does to help our students!

We want the PTO Sweet Harvest Popcorn Fundraiser to be as successful as possible! The PTO decided, what better way to promote selling popcorn than to actually give some away to sample! We are adding a popping end to today/. Please enjoy a sample of the popcorn that your child is selling for this fundraiser. It is absolutely delicious and hits the spot for an after school snack! They can grab a snack bag (while supplies last) from our PTO cart after school is dismissed today, Wednesday, January 22 at 2:15. The cart will be at the front of the building. (Note-produced n a facility that uses peanuts, milk & tree nuts)

Our Sweet Harvest Popcorn Fundraiser starts today and ends Friday, January 31st! We are excited to sell delicious popcorn & raise money for our PTO so we can do awesome things, such as go on field trips, sponsor fun events, and raise money for a musical playground! Ask your favorite Crusader for their order form so you can order some sweet treats and support Emerson!

On today's episode of Eyewitness Emerson... Mr. Bates, and his class of fourth graders, learned how different structural shapes could withstand different pressures.
