🐾 Introducing Tails from School!
Yes, we love highlighting our staff members and helping you get to know them better - but what about their furry friends who are waiting impatiently at home for them? I’m glad you asked.
Follow along over the next few weeks as we share photos and fun facts about the pets who keep our staff smiling beyond the school day. 🐶🐱 Up first is Lulu!

Today we’re shining a spotlight on 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Anderson! This is her third year in Elkton, and she loves seeing her students get excited about what they’re learning. Mrs. Anderson’s favorite meal is her mom’s spaghetti, and she thinks everyone should read the Harry Potter series at least once. We assume she has great taste in music, as she knows all the lyrics to the Nelly classic, “Air Force Ones.” Nature is something that inspires her, and Audible is the most used app on her phone. Thank you, Mrs. Anderson, for all the amazing things you do for your students and the Elkton School District each day!

The Elkton-Lake Benton Minecraft team made the schools first-ever appearance at the E-Spots State Tournament last weekend in Aberdeen! They played well, but came up short of placing.

Congratulations to the Minecraft squad and the rest of the Elks E-Sports team on a fantastic inaugural season!

Elk Snapshot:
Mrs.Jaack's Child Development 2 class and Mrs. Sorensen's Afternoon Preschool class have been collaborating on a couple different projects to start the 3rd Quarter. Mrs.Jaack's students have created fun and interactive bulletin boards to be featured in the hallway for students to practice a specific skill. The January bulletin board focused on sorting shapes! Mrs. Jaack's students have also been working hard creating children's books! Students presented their books to the Afternoon Preschool class and shared information about weather, the 5 senses, counting, and the ABC's!

Here's a peek at some of the cool stuff happening around school:
Last week, Mrs. Anderson's 3rd grade classes had a zoom call with the Grand Teton National Park Rangers. They learned about how animals adapted to the winter weather in the park. It was a fantastic learning opportunity!
