🧮📅 Number Corner Highlights in 1st & 3rd Grade! 🔢✨
Students in 1st and 3rd grade are diving into math with enthusiasm during Number Corner, an essential part of the Bridges in Mathematics curriculum. This daily routine offers engaging, hands-on activities that help build number sense, recognize patterns, and connect math to real-world situations. 💡📚🧠
Each month introduces new concepts through calendar markers 🗓️, data collection 📊, problem solving 🤔, and math talks 🗣️. Whether they’re exploring time ⏰, shapes 🔺, or math strategies ➕➖, students are thinking critically and having fun along the way! 🎉
A big shoutout to our amazing teachers 👨🏫 for bringing math to life and guiding students in building strong foundational skills. 👏

Way to go, Bobcats! 🐾

🌸💙 Heartwarming Update 💙🌸
During our Spring 2025 Bobcat Service Day, our 2nd grade students spread kindness by decorating small flower pots and planting seeds 🌱 to share with our neighboring houses 🏡.
This week, we received a couple of photos 📸 from our neighbors showing the beautiful flowers 🌼🌷 that grew from those tiny seeds. Just like flowers, kindness grows when it’s planted and nurtured 💕.
What started as a small act of kindness blossomed into something so meaningful and beautiful 🌟. Thank you to our neighbors for sharing these pictures with us—it reminds us all of the impact even the smallest acts can have. 🌻✨

✨ Each year, our 5th graders take on leadership roles to make Dyersville Elementary a great place to learn and grow. One of their important responsibilities is raising the American flag each morning and carefully folding it each evening.
Mrs. Hillebrand meets with the 5th graders to teach them:
⭐ The importance of the flag
⭐ How we show respect for the flag
⭐ The proper way to fold the flag
This is the beginning of their journey in learning about the flag, which continues with participation in the 5th Grade Flag Essay Contest held by the Dyersville American Legion Post 137.
We are so proud of their excitement and leadership—a true example of being Bobcat Strong! ❤️🐾🤍🐾💙🐾

🚨🔥🌪️ We had our first fire and tornado drills of the school year! 🚨🔥🌪️
Each semester, schools are required to practice:
✅ 2 fire drills
✅ 2 tornado drills
✅ 1 lockdown drill
And every other year, we also practice a lockdown and evacuation drill.
Safety is one of our top priorities and aligns with our Bobcat Strong value: We Are Safe ❤️🐾.
Our students did an amazing job today—way to go, Bobcats! 👏✨
💡 Parent Tip: This is a great time to review your family’s home safety plan together, so kids feel confident both at school and at home. 🏡❤️
