Lessons Learned: We can learn a lot from our little ones if we give them an opportunity to teach us.
This week, kindergarten students learned what it means to be an active citizen who genuinely cares for others, strives to improve his/her community in practical ways, perseveres through difficulties, resolves conflict respectfully, accepts others, learns from misconceptions, cooperates as a member of a team, demonstrates effort in all tasks, and celebrates collective accomplishments.
Today, we celebrated them and all they do to make Floodwood a better community for us all.
These little learners are active citizens who have much to teach all of us if we will listen. We can feel fortunate for lessons learned.
School is cancelled for Thursday, April 11th. All evening activities, including conferences, will be cancelled. If you would like to schedule a conference for your child, please contact their teacher.

Digging Into Flexibility and Cooperation Skills: Two enthusiastic culinary artists took to the kindergarten kitchen early Friday morning to make the day's snack--Healthy energy spheres!
Both students worked together to gather supplies, consider one another's ideas for the recipe, and work together to concoct the most amazing treats for the class.
Flexibility and cooperation were character traits of the week that these chefs deliciously applied in an authentic context. Yum!
Technology in Action: This week, kindergarten students revisited a recipe for homemade honey butter and used it as an opportunity to discuss advances in technology and how it helps us at home and school. Our mason jar recipe took much more time and effort, but the taste was well worth it!
Kindergarten students designed posters this week for Governor Walz in preparation for a special invitation to the Capitol for Wednesday's State of the State Address. Students wrote about what they love and get to do in school.
The purpose of this writing activity was to inform our elected officials of the exceptional education Floodwood students receive each day. Our young children are active citizens with the power to influence change!

It was definitely STEAMy in the library today.
Lots of fun for a lot of students.
STEAM in the Library-students working together to operate robotic Sphero balls was a fun time for 2nd, 6th, & 11th graders. First Grade spent time learning their way around a keyboard, helping others, and learning how to measure arches to get a basketball through the net.
