We find Mrs. Mulder's class of third graders gobbling up knowledge! Actually, they are enjoying today's healthy fresh fruit & veggie snack: PINEAPPLE!!! On most days of the week, the school provides, as an option, either a fresh fruit or a vegetable snack to each student. Schools are able to do this based on a grant provided by the state.
Eyewitness Emerson will be off-air until after break. We hope you all enjoy your much deserved break, and we'll be back in the new year, 2025!!

Mrs. Mulder and her class of third graders are getting prepared; prepared for weather safety! Each student was asked to design and create and image and a slogan to promote weather safety. Some students chose tornado safety, others chose flood safety, and more chose thunderstorm safety. These creations will be sent in to the state for a chance to be featured in a weather safety calendar. We wish them all good luck!

Ms. Lyon's first graders were showing off their skills. They practiced reading 'wiggle cards' and acting out the action listed on the cards. They also practiced chain words (similar words where one letter or sound is different). At the end they practiced their listening and writing skills with markerboards.
