📚✏️ So much learning happening in Kindergarten! ❤️🖤
Our kindergartners recently read Quarrel of the Quails as part of our CKLA curriculum. After reading, students drew pictures to show the important details of the story and then put their thinking into writing by writing a sentence to go along with their illustrations.
We are seeing some amazing growth in our young writers! Many students are independently writing letters to represent the sounds they hear in words, using their heart words, and even identifying and writing beginning and ending sounds. 🌟
It is so exciting to see their confidence, skills, and independence grow week after week! We are so proud of these little Bobcats and all the progress they are making! 🐾❤️🖤
🎼 5th grade is hitting all the right notes! Students are having fun learning in music class and growing as musicians during their band lessons. Keep up the great work! 🎶
Big things are happening in first grade! From exploring new ideas to building skills and discovering new things, our first graders are learning, growing, and shining brighter every day! 💡✏️We’re proud of their hard work, curious minds, and enthusiasm for learning! ❤️🤍🖤
🍿 Popcorn + Playground + Pre-K Friends = A Perfect Night! 🍿

What a week it has been for our littlest Bobcats! 🐾❤️

There were plenty of busy little bodies moving from one activity to the next… and by the end of the day, we definitely saw a few big yawns and tired eyes! 😴🥱😂
The first week of school is filled with so many new experiences, and our PK students did an amazing job learning what it means to be a Bobcat. 🐾 They are learning classroom routines, practicing how to be good friends, discovering new things, and building confidence each day. 🌟❤️
And let's be honest… making it through that first week deserves a BIG HIGH FIVE! ✋🏼🎉

🐾❤️ 5th Grade Leaders Are Ready to Lead! 🖤🐾
Our 5th graders are kicking off the year by learning about some pretty awesome leadership opportunities they get to be a part of at DES! 🎤🇺🇸🤝♻️🏫
From helping with morning announcements, being responsible for raising and lowering our flag, serving as peer partners, helping with recycling, and giving tours to new students and families, our 5th graders have so many ways to step up and make a difference!
These opportunities may seem like small jobs, but they teach BIG lessons. They are learning how to be responsible, dependable, kind, helpful, and positive role models for the younger Bobcats who are watching them. 🥰 They are learning that leadership isn’t about being the loudest or having a title—it’s about serving others, setting a good example, and making our school community a better place.
I am so excited to watch this group of 5th graders grow as leaders and see all the ways they will make a difference this year! 🌟
This is what it means to be Bobcat Strong! 💪🐾❤️🖤
Let’s go, 5th grade! We know you’re ready to LEAD! 🙌
We are back! 🥰 Welcome to the 26-27 school 🏫 year! We wish all of the staff and students the best year full of relationships, connections, and learning! Have a great year Bobcats!! ❤️🤍🖤
🐾 Meet the Amazing DES Staff! ❤️🖤🤍
The energy is high at Dyersville Elementary as we get ready to welcome our Bobcats back! 🏫📚 Our teachers and paras kicked off the school year Wednesday with our Back to School Kickoff, and our teachers have spent the rest of the week learning, collaborating, and preparing for an incredible year ahead! ✏️💡
We are so lucky to have such a dedicated, caring, and enthusiastic staff who are ready to make this year one to remember! ❤️
The classrooms are ready, the staff is ready, and now we’re just missing one thing… OUR STUDENTS! 🥳🐾
We can’t wait to see everyone on Monday! Let’s make it a GREAT year, Bobcats! ❤️🖤🤍🎉
