Peek Into Anamoose Drake Elementary

Students will take part in our January Castle Time centered around the theme “Agree to Disagree.” The afternoon will begin with a presentation by Mrs. Volson in the gym, followed by a Castle-themed combination Jeopardy game that promotes teamwork and respectful discussion. Weather permitting, students will wrap up the afternoon with some outdoor snowman building and winter fun.

The 100th Day of School is next Thursday, January 22nd!💯
This month’s Secret Pen Pal theme is favorite winter activity, giving students a fun way to connect and share what they love most about winter.✍🏻

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.

Sack lunches will be provided. We are so proud of our students and excited for them to showcase their hard work!

I will start the Winter ND A+ Interim on January 27th with all grades.📝
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.📝
