Mr. Severson’s class met another AR goal! Mr. Severson rocked his heels all day long. #RISE #GoBulldogs

We have some exciting news! Lucia Wallace received a grant from the Kossuth County Community Foundation to install a gaga ball pit on our playground. The students can’t wait to have another way to be active at recess. #RISE #GoBulldogs

Drumroll please.....Lucia Wallace is proud to announce our final reading challenge record holder Evelyn Kissinger. Evelyn ate 12 M&M’s with chopsticks in one minute. #RISE #GoBulldogs

If the students earned 1500 AR points during the Record Breaking Reading Challenge, Mrs. Schutjer had to spend an entire day on the roof. The students earned over 2000 points! Mrs. Schutjer set a LW record by spending 7 1/2 hours on the roof. #RISE #GoBulldogs #readacrossiowa

Congratulations to these Bulldog Heroes. They were recognized by their teachers for showing kindness, empathy, and being good friends. #rise #gobulldogs

Today I had the opportunity to become a student and participate in Miss Hope’s art lesson! She reached 150 AR points and got to take on the role of the teacher and teach a topic of her choice #RISE #GoBulldogs

The third and fourth grade classroom winners competed in the sock challenge against each other for our Record Breaker Reading Challenge. We were so proud of Evelyn getting second and competing in the tie breaking match! #RISE #GoBulldogs

Meet our new “student!” We reached our reading goal of 1,000 AR points, so we got a new class pet! #RISE #GoBulldogs

During March, we are competing in a record breakers reading challenge! Yesterday we competed to see who could put on the most socks in 30 seconds. Our record was 12! #RISE #GoBulldogs

NEW on the blog today 🎉

Do you have a full picture of your students’ thought process?

👉 Multiple choice questions often give us a limited view of how well students understand something new... here's a new option!

The teachers are engaging in circle work about what it looks like, sounds like, feels like to live in their core values. #RISE #GoBulldogs

Today was our last day of skating in PE. We all had so much fun the last few weeks! #RISE #GoBulldogs

Who needs a big thesaurus when you can use technology to help you with synonyms? Third graders use their Chromebooks to help them fill out their vocabulary journals each week #RISE #GoBulldogs #MsideEDUC522

How many homework problems students will have today depends on if they can make it in a cup! There were some daring students that tried for no homework #RISE #GoBulldogs

[Jill Schutjer @ascd_schutjer]

When it feels like -17 outside, the students do a variety of activities during inside recess. #RISE #GoBulldogs

[Molly Bjustrom @MBjustrom3rd]

@kimberl21 There definitely would have been chaos if it would have landed on no homework! I used https://t.co/gU1ZJvwCpk

[Molly Bjustrom @MBjustrom3rd]

Excitement and suspense was high today! Students were so close to landing on “No Homework!” But they got the next best thing with only 10 homework problems 😁 #RISE #GoBulldogs #MsideEDUC522
