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! 🦊🐓🐔
Kindergarten and 1st Graders love listening and learning to tell stories! We enjoyed using Ms. Nancy’s puppets, listening to her stories, and helping her tell stories.
There is nothing better than curling up with a good book and a buddy! 3rd Grade and preschool gathered this week for reading buddies. 3rd Graders love to read and preschoolers love to visit the library media center. ♥️📚

Congratulations to Park Elementary October Students of the Month!

Several students were selected for the Stars of Honor Program which recognizes students who display academic, social, emotional and behavioral excellence in school. The students and their families received tickets to the Gopher Football game VS Illinois this past Saturday.
Look who students saw at the game....Mr. Kern. The weather was great and everyone had a great time. #GiantPride
