Excellence in action!
We had a special treat this morning at M-D Elementary! ☘️📚
Miss Jen kicked off our March guest readers by spending her morning with our preschoolers and a couple of Mrs.Lee's reading groups. She read There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Clover, and the kids absolutely loved it! 🍀
We’re so thankful Miss Jen took the time to be with our students—there’s nothing better than sharing the joy of reading together. 💚
If you would like to be a guest reader, please contact Mrs. Lee at leeh@melcher-dallas.k12.ia.us ⚜️
Happy St.Patrick's Day!

There was something extra special happening in the preschool room today! 📚✨
Mrs. Lee brought her 1st grade reading group down the hall to share their growing reading skills with the preschoolers. The little ones loved listening to the big kids read, and the 1st graders were so proud to show off how much their fluency has grown this year.
Mrs. Rasmus especially loved having some of her former students back in her classroom and seeing just how much they’ve grown as readers since their preschool days. Moments like this are such a great reminder of how quickly these kids grow!
Mrs. Lee is always finding ways to encourage her readers—building confidence, celebrating their progress, and creating meaningful relationships with our youngest learners along the way.
Safe to say… fun was had by all! 💙📚

We wrapped up our Read Across America Week celebrations in preschool with our final guest reader! 📚🎉
Mrs. Weaver joined the class to read Wacky Wednesday by Dr. Seuss, and it was the perfect silly story to end a week full of reading fun. The students loved searching for all the wacky things on each page and sharing lots of giggles along the way! 🤪📖
