April Safety Drill
This month's safety drill was the second of the two required severe weather drills. Our drill coincided with the statewide tornado drill on April 11 at 1:45 pm. The drill practices the crouched "tornado tuck" and logistics of the safe sites for the grade levels. At the Park Falls Elementary we did modify the location of the 5th grade to reduce the time it takes them to get into position based on our debrief from the previous drill.
Spring Testing Season
State testing for grades 3-8 is ongoing. The school counselors are doing an excellent job with the organization and Mr. Weiler is managing the technology. The classroom teachers faciliate the testing. Special education teachers monitor the testing for children that have accomodations as part of their IEP. A significant amount of our resources are used to ensure a smooth and high quality testing environment exists for all children.
Book Blast!
In an effort to build home libraries, we have kicked off another Book Blast. Here is Mrs. Herrmann's 4th grade showing the prizes students earned for completing their "treasure map" by submitting 10 or more emails for the Book Blast company to invite to participate with a donation.
Riley Kontney, a kindergartner from Mrs. Larson's class, was the lucky Ipad winner!
