🔠 Hands-On Learning Builds Strong Foundations! Mrs. Hansen's preschoolers are developing early literacy skills through engaging, hands-on experiences that make learning meaningful. This week, we went on a letter hunt, searching our classroom and hallway spaces for familiar letters in signs and labels. Activities like these help children connect print to their everyday environment while strengthening visual recognition, fine motor skills, and language development. Through active exploration, letters become more than symbols—they become part of the world our learners interact with every day!

Do you remember Rubik’s Cubes? The Gifted and Talented program shared mini cubes with classes—along with fun “how-to” videos! Students learned how to use the cubes to create cool pictures and patterns, and before long, they were hooked. It was amazing to see how much they could learn (and solve!) in such a short time. Big thanks to Mr. Calvadores and the Gifted and Talented program for bringing the cube craze!

🌽 Day 2 of our National FFA Convention trip did not disappoint! 💙💛 We kicked off the day with a visit to Iowa State University, where members learned about the incredible opportunities within their College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. 🌾🐄 From there, we traveled to Hummel Livestock in Illinois — a truly unique and diversified operation! They started by crossbreeding domestic and exotic cats, which funded their expansion into show goats and later show cattle. Their cattle genetics, sourced all the way from Argentina, have helped bridge the gap between show animals and commercial production. 🐐🐂 It’s been an inspiring day full of innovation, learning, and agriculture in action!

And they’re off! Eight members of the Julesburg FFA Chapter have begun their trek to the National FFA Convention! Their first stop — the CASE IH Combine Factory in Grand Island, Nebraska. Watching combines go from flat steel plates to fully assembled machines was an incredible experience! To wrap up the day, the group stopped at Buzzard Billy’s, where students got adventurous and tried some Cajun cuisine — including alligator! 🐊 Stay tuned as we continue our journey to Indianapolis for the 98th National FFA Convention & Expo!

Our preschoolers spent a beautiful fall morning at Pumpkins and More A-Maiz-ing Farm! They loved every part of the adventure — from the jumping pillow and pig races to the winding corn maze and fun Bee Train ride. It was the perfect day for hands-on exploration and autumn fun! 🍁

Kindergarten, first grade and second grade had an amazing time at Dusty Trails! 🎃🐴

K–1–2 Dusty Trails Adventure! Kindergarten, first, and second graders took an exciting field trip to Dusty Trails in North Platte—a day packed with fun and learning! Students (and adults!) got to ride horses, pet and hold live animals, explore a corn maze, launch corn from a corn cannon, try their hand at kids’ axe throwing, and pick the perfect pumpkin. The day kicked off with a duck race down the creek and wrapped up with a visit to a historic sod house. And of course, we can’t forget the zip line and giant slides that added even more excitement! What an amazing experience for everyone! A huge thank-you to our parent sponsors, bus driver Mr. Kizer, and the PTO for providing each student with a pumpkin.

Our first graders are learning how to solve real-world subtraction problems — through play! Students practiced taking away, comparing, and finding the difference while playing a hands-on subtraction board game. They rolled the dice, moved their pieces, and used subtraction to solve each challenge along the way. 💡 Nothing makes learning math more exciting than turning it into a game! 👏
