D is for DEFINITELY a FUN week in Mrs. Lee’s kindergarten reading group! 🔤 We’ve been busy discovering the letter D, learning its sound, practicing how to write it the correct way, and dreaming up words that begin with D! These kiddos did a DANDY job! 🙌 To finish off our week of hard work, we dove into some shaving cream to showcase our learning! A little mess, a LOT of discovery, and some DELIGHTFUL learning along the way! 🤗

Time flies when you’re having fun! 📚💻 ✍️ Mrs. Lee’s 4th grade reading group has been working hard on building their reading fluency, strengthening their comprehension, and learning how to properly type! They have been busy learning, practicing, and growing, and I can’t believe we’re already wrapping up the first quarter of the school year! So proud of the hard work these kids are putting in! Keep it up, 4th graders! ⚜️

A HUGE thank you to our M-D PTO for donating books to my classroom from the book fair! 🙌 These lovely 2nd graders enjoyed reading them today! 🤩 There’s nothing better than watching kids get excited about reading, and I’m so thankful for a PTO that helps make moments like this possible for our students! 📚 🤍 ⚜️ -Mrs.Lee

Our 8th-grade students have been practicing their business letter writing skills by sending letters out into the world! We are excited to share that we have already received two responses! 🎉

🏈 Kinnick received a response from the University of Iowa! 🖤💛

🐴 Braxtyn received a response from Durango! 🤠

What a great way for students to see how professional communication can create real-world connections! We are excited to see what other responses come in. Great job, 8th graders! 👏

This year, the seniors voted on the type of awards ceremony they wanted. They chose to have awards only and no banquet (food). We hope you can join us for a fun evening of celebrating our student-athletes.

🎉 We are proud to have Austin Remster representing Melcher-Dallas FBLA as our District 5 Vice President at SFLC! Students had the opportunity to participate in workshops, network with other FBLA members, and take part in Trivia Take Down. We are proud of Austin’s leadership and dedication as he represents our chapter!
