EMMETSBURG DISTRICT MISSION
The Emmetsburg CSD believes we will create an environment of promoting growth and serving others.
4 yr Old Preschool
Preschool is off to a great start! They are learning to share and make friends in all their centers! They love to listen to stories. They loved when Miss Kaitlin visited from the Nature Center and talked to them about bugs!
Kindergarten Readiness
Kindergarten
Second Grade
Second graders enjoyed a day of learning about all things safety: fire, farm, being home along, pet and animal, and first aid! A huge thank you to all who helped make this day a success!
Third Grade
3rd grade has spent time learning about and searching for text features in their student readers. Look at home with them for text features in books you have at home and see what they can find!
Fourth Grade
Homecoming week is always such a fun week at the elementary! High schoolers come for a pep rally and then walk through the rooms and sign pendants! It is always so fun to have high schoolers interacting with elementary students!
First Grade
First graders recently wrapped up their knowledge unit during their reading block on the human body and were able to have some guest speakers come in. Ask your first grader what they have learned about the human body? First graders along with second graders attended Farm Safety Day at the Palo Alto County Fairgrounds- it was such a fun day of learning! A special shout out to our high school students were leading some sessions!
3 yr old Preschool
3 year old preschool has been busy learning all about school! We are working hard to strengthen our finger muscles and develop our fine motor skills. The students have been lacing cards, stringing beads, using hold punchers, and cutting with scissors to make their fingers nice and strong!
