Happy Friday!

What a snowy surprise we had this morning! It’s a bit early but it looked beautiful on the trees! We had a great week at Emerson as we are getting rolling in the second trimester. As I visited classrooms this week, I saw many students learning about non-fiction text features as we head into our new literacy units! We also had our first round of relay races for the celebration that the students earned through PBIS. The students had a blast! The rest of the classrooms that didn’t participate yesterday will have their celebration next Thursday. Finally, this week wrapped up with remembering and celebrating our Veterans with our Support our Troops Day! Teachers shared this video Veteran's Day Video that was created by Mrs. Blanford, Mrs. Wenig and Ms. Kawa as well as read stories and wrote letters to Veterans. Thank you to all of our military men and women for your service to our country!
