Retirement Quilt

The 2nd graders surprised me with a delightful quilt for my retirement. Each student in the class designed and colored a square for the quilt. The quilt is as unique and special as each of the students I have taught in my 29 years at North Winn.

Field Trip Day

The second graders visited Winneshiek County Recycling on May 10. Terry Buenzow showed us the materials from the big blue bins and then the huge bales of materials ready to be sold. The students tho ught the machines and bales were awesome. They were amazed at how many items get recycled in one day!
We then went to Phelps Park in Decorah to eat lunch, play on the equipment and hike on the trails. We were lucky to have a gorgeous spring day for our trip!

Muffins for Moms

Muffins for Moms started the day! We had many moms, grandmas, and friends at North Winn.

Donuts for Dads

The students had fun starting the day eating a donut and sharing a book with Dad, Grandpa, or a friend!

Luther Science Teachers

Four future science teachers from Luther College taught three lessons to the second graders about forces and motion. The unit was called "Sheep in a Jeep." The Luther teachers had the students conduct many interesting and fun experiments!

Reading Adventure

The North Winneshiek elementary students read hundreds of books and thousands of pages during March! The pirate theme was "Read a book, Find an Adventure." At the end of the month the students enjoyed special pirate activities in the gym.
