Wow! What a fantastic early April week we had. Warm temperatures brought an end to the ice on the lake, the birds were singing songs of joy, and the children were excited to spend more time outdoors again. This week brought the return to lunch outdoors and full recess together. We were also able to squeeze in a couple of extra recesses! This week …
The consensus is in, and March definitely came in like a lion and went out like a lamb. We had such pleasant spring-like weather the last couple of weeks and then BAM! Winter is back! Despite this, spring flowers are beginning to sprout and soon our April showers will bring May flowers! We just need to be patient a little while longer. The ice …

Dear Elmore Families, Over the past three weeks, students at the Elmore School have been busy during their free time creating handmade valentines for the post office patrons at the Elmore Store. Their hard work concluded Friday as valentines were hung on all the post office boxes. This has become an annual tradition for the Elmore School (started by Mrs. Anderson), and is truly …
It was a short but full week at the Elmore School. A fresh blanket of snow refreshed the playground where children worked throughout the week to construct a series of connected “rooms” stringing along the front fence and winding around to far side of the playground. I observed the children plan, construct, collaborate, and problem solve through their play in a way that no lesson …
Dear Elmore Families, We had another full week at the Elmore School. This week in Literacy students began the week by becoming “spelling detectives”. In this activity, students looked closely at their spelling words to discover the spelling patterns.
