Park Winter Concert
In Library Media class, 3rd Graders recently read a book about a character who enjoyed reading the “funny pages.” One of the 3rd-Grade students brought some funny pages to class so we could all enjoy reading them.
Congratulations to Park Elementary November Students of the Month!
Some Park Elementary students and their "Giant Buddies" enjoyed making crafts and spending time together outside yesterday!
We have some students with urgent needs. Can you help with any gently used items taking up space in your closets? Items can be dropped off at Park Elementary.
Thank you!
In 4th Grade Library Media class, we learned about keeping games fun while we are online. Students created their own game poster with rules, goals, and expectations.
Kindergarten loves special places to read. Reading under a table is like reading in a secret cave!
2nd Graders are hot on the trail looking for tracks left behind. We are learning about our digital footprint and personal vs private information. What is safe to share on the internet?
Guest artist, Alexandra Beaumont from Minneapolis will be visiting all students K-5 in their art classes at Park Elementary the week of December 4. She will be sharing her own work and creating a shape parade banner with the students. See the finished work hanging at the Winter Concert on December 15. This activity is made possible in part by a grant from the Prairie Lakes Regional Arts Council with funds appropriated by the Minnesota State Legislature from its general fund. @PrairieLakesRegionalArtsCouncil
First Graders celebrated Thanksgiving with a pie party! All First Graders were able to share what they were thankful for while enjoying some pie! Thank you to all the parents that donated and made it such a special event. #GaintPride
The afternoon Preschool class has been learning about sharing and kindness. They read the story “Stone Soup”. In the story the villagers learn to “bring what you’ve got and put it in the pot!” The preschoolers all brought something to add, helped clean and cut the vegetables, and then enjoyed their delicious Stone Soup.
Thank you so much for supporting our book fair! We set a new record in sales and will use the money to buy new books for the library. The students are so excited to have access to all of the books that were available at the fair.

4th Grade students listened to author and storyteller, Nancy Busse, as she shares one of her books. We learned about the creative process and collaboration of an author, illustrator, puppet maker, and publishing. So many ideas for a career!
4th and 5th Graders have really become good storytellers! They have learned to tell the stories by acting out the dialogue with puppets. We ♥️ a good folktale!
There were some Wild Things telling stories in the library media center! Ms. Nancy told us a funny Turkish folktale about a rooster who outsmarted a sultan and 2nd Graders retold the story of Henny Penny. Our Foxy Loxy was so convincing and sly! 🦊🐓🐔
