Today in Mrs. Princinsky's class they studied snowflake science. They went outside with a portable microscope to see snowflakes up close and discuss their shape, size and make up. Then they came inside and worked on making their own snowflakes out of paper! They had a great time!
Mrs. Bowen, our Art Teacher, has the kids making beautiful Christmas trees to celebrate the season! They are doing such a great job!

More Festival of Trees fun!
Today, our 1st grade classes decorated their trees for the Festival of Trees! It was a beautiful, fun and festive day!
We got a lot of snow over the weekend, please remember to send your child with appropriate snow gear so they can play safely at recess! If you need help acquiring any items, please call the office at Elsa Meyer.
We had an incredible experience making fresh bread from scratch with our entire Kindergarten class! Parents were invited in to help the kiddos with the steps. The National Honors Society high school kids came over to offer assistance. Our fabulous kitchen staff is baking them all. What a great way to start the Thanksgiving week!
We had a flurry of activity this morning in our penny wars for those in need! The kids are learning about the power of helping as the whole school comes together to contribute! We have 5 teams, Kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade/MOCI, 3rd grade/BK and Staff. Right now Staff is in 1st place but 1st grade is right on our heels. TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY!!
At Elsa Meyer, we are raising money to help feed those in need! We are also collecting approved, non-expired food (see the list in our last newsletter) In order to be as helpful as we can, we are rewarding the grade who raises the most money/items with a special pajama day! The kids are loving being big helpers and showing kindness!
Today was an important day to stop and think about our brave servicemen/women. Mrs. Bowen had her students draw our wonderful soldiers today. Mrs. Boilore had her students make American Flags. Our entire staff took time today to talk to our students about our AMAZING Veterans. We want to honor them, not just on Veteran's Day but on all days. Thank you Veterans! We appreciate you!
Today, the Corunna High School band came and played for our students! The kids were mesmerized, energized and filled with excitement to see the "Big Kids" play all different kinds of instruments. Thank you Mr. Luft and all the students who came today! It was a TREAT!!!
We have another round of LOST AND FOUND. Please look through to see if anything belongs to your child. Encourage your child to look and see if they have any belongings on or below the table. We will donate at the end of the week. THANK YOU!
Last week was a whirlwind of learning, celebration and fun! Here is just a few pictures of our special Halloween Day!
As part of our Halloween fun, every child got to decorate a pumpkin during specials time. A big THANK YOU to Rivette Farms for donating a pumpkin for all 492 students! The kids loved it!!
Today was a celebration!!! At Elsa Meyer we have CAV cards. When a student makes a really good choice by working hard at their school work, by helping a friend or being an exemplary example, they earn a CAV card. When we get to a certain level in our CAV box, we earn an assembly and we do something fun. Our first goal was met earlier this week and our students got to duct tape our wonderful principal to the wall! They thought it was hilarious and the whole school was filled with laughter and excitement! We have amazing students at Elsa Meyer and we are so proud of them! Keep it up CAVS!
COSTUME PARADE TOMORROW (ON HALLOWEEN) at Elsa Meyer in the bus loop. Costume Parade will start at 11:10 and will end at 11:30. You can take your child after the parade, you must sign them out from the classroom. Regular Dismissal is at 12:10. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Last Thursday, the National Honors Society, our awesome students from the High School, sponsored an Activity Night Fundraiser at Elsa Meyer! We had just over 200 kiddos come and have fun! It was a great!

On Tuesday and Wednesday this week, we had the privilege of having a Mobile Farm Lab come to Elsa Meyer sponsored by Shiawassee Farm Bureau. Each class got an opportunity to study what crops are in season right now and what is in season in the Spring and Summer. They talked about work on the farm and how important it is! Our kiddos loved exploring Agriculture!
FABULOUS FRIDAY!!! We had our FFA friends come to Elsa Meyer and give the entire school hayrides. The kids loved being pulled behind the big tractors in the crisp cold weather. It was a perfect end to the week!
