February 8th marked the 100th day of school for our All City kiddos! The kindergarteners and first graders dressed up like they were 100 years old and celebrated 100 in many different ways throughout the day! The whole school participated in a scavenger hunt for 100 eagles throughout their classrooms and hallways! We are still searching for 3 missing eagles...eithethe teachers might have hid them too well or they can't remember where they put them!!! 😂😂😂
We celebrated Sports Day as a school in honor of the Super Bowl on February 9th! It was fun!
Feb. 26th is our next Pizza Ranch Fundraiser from 5-8 pm! Come support our school!!
Miss Leloux's third graders had a two week Super Reader Reading Challenge! Students were encouraged to read at least 2 hours at home per week of the challenge. The students were divided into two teams (Chiefs and 49ers). In our competition, the 49ers won! Thanks to all students for working hard! Students voted on team MVPs. Throughout the Super Bowl Week, students learned about the Star Spangled Banner, Roman Numerals, read football stories, did football math/spelling words, had daily team huddles, focused on sportsmanship, learned about the offensive positions, made predictions about the Super Bowl, had a yummy Tailgate Party, and finalized everything with an award ceremony! It was a blast!
We just keep practicing, we just keep practicing, we just keep practicing kinda like the characters just keep swimming and swimming and swimming in Finding Nemo! March 21 will be here before we know it!

The 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders in ULE were a part of a sheep dissection lab with Mr. Robinson (our ULE teacher's husband) today! They compared the sheep brain to our human brains to compare and contrast the two. Great questioning, collaborative learning, and imaginative inferencing was so exciting to see! We also had several future biologists brave enough to hold it!!! So cool! What a great learning experience!

Our first whole school musical practice was a success! About once a week until showtime in March, students will gather to sing songs, practice lines and choreography as a whole group! It is so awesome to see their progression of confidence, poise, and determination to produce the best musical they can! Keep working hard! We look forward to the show!

The 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders in ULE (gifted education) learned about their brains! They then had to build a model representing the parts of their brain! They turned out awesome!
Big shoutout to the parents who brought in food/drinks for the teachers/staff and decorated the workroom during conferences this week! Such cute decor! Big thanks to the Hohn family for organizing it! We appreciate it so much and thanks in advance for the meal on Thursday!!
On Feb. 1st, the Skyforce invited Jane Addams students to come to their game for free through donated tickets from Dakotah Bank! Thank you! They even got to make a fan tunnel to slap hands with the starters before the game started! What a neat experience! All of the students and fans cheered loudly for the Skyforce win! Thanks for having us!
