Emily Anderson, our music, band, and orchestra teacher, used her $250 Replenish the Room Grant from the Sioux Falls Public Schools Education Foundation to purchase three sets of “Soft and Safe Comet Balls”. She has used these in passing, tossing, and catching singing games in every general music class she teaches. In the application, she wrote, “Students work on keeping a steady beat and matching pitch as they pass the ball, and they also work on gross and fine motor skills.” With the remaining grant dollars, she purchased pencils, markers, crayons, scissors, and clipboards so that students can complete assignments in her classroom. Way to go!
Congrats to Tanya Rausis, second grade teacher, used her $250 Replenish the Room Grant from Sioux Falls Public School Education Foundation to purchase board and card games and LEGO sets to refresh her indoor recess cupboard! Way to go!
Thank you for the donuts from the Sioux Falls Public Schools Education Foundation for our staff!
5th graders are adding and subtracting fractions to 2 and finding common denominators. Here they are playing the game, Addition Compare.
Third graders shared about their favorite books by drawing the covers of the books and describing a short part of their book to classmates! They love "falling for good books!"
Swimming is always fun when you are with your friends! First Friday swimming at Embe was a hit!
Every morning all grades meet for Morning Meeting. We say the Pledge of Allegiance and our school's Character Pledge as a part of our morning announcements. During Morning Meetings, teachers and students (depending on the grade level may do different things) usually discuss the schedule, weather, how many days of school we have been in, do cooperative activities/discussions, and learn about upcoming events. It is an important way to start off each day to build community in our classrooms.
No school on November 11th for Veteran's Day! Thank you for your service!

Students in third grade take turns watering their plants each week. They add a touch of home to the classroom.
Student Council elections were held on November 4th. Students in grades 1st through 5th grade were eligible to run for a spot. They needed to provide a poster and a speech. We are proud of all candidates brave enough to run for a spot. Kindergarten also got to participate with a vote on favorite items.
Fall Parties were a big hit! Thanks to all of the parents in charge of each grade's parties and for all who helped volunteer! So much fun had!
Students earned tickets for showing skills of respectfulness, responsibility, and safety to earn a "Lights Out" October Reward Party through our PBIS Behavior Program. They enjoyed having a flashlight to do their work. Way to go kids!
A fun tradition we have is to sing Halloween songs together as a whole school! Awesome!
Our Pizza Ranch fundraiser was another big success as we raised $787! Thank you for supporting our school! Thanks to all of the families and kids who helped clear tables as well. Thanks to the Dachtler family for getting this event organized.
The annual teacher costume reveal was so fun! This year they gave a "live concert" from the school's roof as KPop Stars! The kids sang and danced with them as they sang 'Golden'! We all love this annual tradition!
Way to go High Flyers! You are awesome leaders at being responsible, respectful, and safe!
Tonight is the night for our Pizza Ranch fundraiser! We appreciate the support! Thank you!
In library, 2nd grade will be learning about Edison robots. How does a bar code actually make the robot go? Who can win at sumo wrestling with the robots? Neat!
