- 4th Grade Field Trip to MSU – February 6 🎶
On February 6, our 4th graders will travel to Minot State University for a special opportunity to play their recorders with the Minot Symphony Orchestra. Students will leave school around 10:15 a.m., perform during a 55-minute mini concert at noon, and return to school before the end of the day.

Our 3rd–6th grade students will soon be participating in the annual Student Engagement Survey. This survey gives students an opportunity to share their thoughts about their learning experiences, and their feedback is an important part of our continuous improvement efforts.
Once the survey window opens on February 1, I will begin visiting classrooms after February 10 to guide students through the process and help ensure everything runs smoothly.📝- The February 21CCLC calendar will go home with students Monday.📅

Classroom Highlights✨
Castle Time – January Update 🏰 Last Friday, our castles focused on Agreeing to Disagree — a skill we all continue to work on (adults included 😊). Students played a Jeopardy-style game and teamed up to build the tallest paper snowman, practicing teamwork, compromise, and respectful problem-solving along the way. Great conversations and even better growth!
