All four preschool classrooms went on field trips to the Bone Creek Museum of Agrarian Art this week. The students enjoyed learning what a museum is, seeing the beautiful artwork and learning about it, and going on a scavenger hunt. Thanks so much to the museum staff for hosting our youngest learners!

Our hearts (and classroom!) were a little extra full this week in David City Third Grade. 🐣💛

After completing our embryology project, students had the chance to hold and observe the chicks they’ve been learning about from day one. Watching their curiosity turn into care and responsibility has been such a special part of this experience.

We are so proud of the way they handled our feathered friends — gentle hands, big smiles, and lots of thoughtful questions!

Now our chicks are heading off to their forever homes, and while we will miss the peeping sounds in our classroom, we are so thankful for the hands-on learning, life lessons, and memories made along the way.

What a sweet ending to an unforgettable project!

It's always a great day at Bellwood Elementary when we get to start the day with Positive Office Referrals. It's even better when it's the student's first time to receive one! Today Jemma and Lorraina both received their first ever positive office referrals. They are Stellar Students because of their hard work, growth they have shown, and positive attitude. Way to go Jemma and Lorraina!

Spanish 4 students enjoyed spending time at David City Elementary today for their second lesson of the semester.

David City third grade students loved having the high school FFA students visit our classroom! 🌼🌱 They learned all about the parts of a flower through a fun, hands-on activity. We are so thankful for the opportunity to connect with our FFA students and make learning come to life!
