Lil Steamer Families --

I want to commend our Lil Steamers for performing so well during our two safety drills so far this year: fire drill and lockdown drill. They have listened to their teachers, followed instructions, and worked hard to stay safe.

Remember to speak with your children about common safety topics like not getting into a stranger's vehicle, looking both ways before crossing the road, wearing a helmet when riding a bike, and how to call 911 in an emergency.

Good luck to our Steamer Football team tonight in their home opener against Forreston; we hope to see you there!

Onward Fulton!

Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!

From the Desk of: Counselor Meumann

When someone does something nice for you, do something nice for someone else. Doing this is a wonderful way to continue the cycle of gratitude. “Paying it forward” is a way of showing love and kindness to others. It could be something as simple as holding the door open for someone or buying coffee for a stranger. Once a week, share as a family one time you “paid it forward” during the week.

No Parking

Starting on Tuesday, September 3 the south side of 7th Avenue between 12th Street and 11th Street will be NO PARKING. Temporary no parking signs will be placed via the Fulton Police Department to help our school buses be able to make the turn from 12th Street onto 7th Avenue and reduce the congestion in that area. See below image for a visual reference.

K is for King!

Kindergarten students studied the letter Kk on Friday. Students heard the story, The King of Kindergarten. All the boys were then given gold crowns to wear! They enjoyed being kings for the day!

2B Class photo!

What a wonderful group of students we have in 2B! We are having a great start to the year!

Of course we can't take a class photo without doing a silly one!

Math Manipulative in 2C!

This week we started our math curriculum, which had us making Lego glyphs and talking about our differences and similarities. We learned about graphing and sharing that information using picture graphs and bar graphs. We also are learning about different math tools or manipulatives. We have had fun this week exploring with tiles, geoboards, unifix cubes, and pattern blocks! Here are some pictures of them exploring.

Band and Chorus

Band contracts are being mailed out to parents of students interested in 5th grade band. Watch for a letter in the mail. Signed contracts should be returned to school and given to Mrs. Anton.

Chorus permission slips are being sent home with students interested in 4th/5th grade chorus. Make sure to sign up for the FES Chorus Remind group, then send the permission slip back to school to Mrs. Anton.

We are loving 3rd grade (I sure am)! We have been busy building relationships and getting familiar with our routines. Thank you to the families for being involved and signing their agendas every night. ~Ms. Kuehl
