Yesterday we had the honor of hosting author and former Storm Lake teacher, Deb Mortensen, at CCE!
Mrs. Mortensen gave the students behind-the-scenes insight into how a book comes to life. Much work is done by publishers, editors, authors, and illustrators before a book hits the shelf.
Her story, "NOT ME!" was written based on her time as a Kindergarten teacher and the many times that students would try to deflect the blame from themselves onto a seemingly invisible instigator entitled "NOT ME!" Her delightful story taught the students ownership of their actions, admitting mistakes, and telling the truth the first time.
Following her book-read, Mrs. Mortensen had a question-and-answer session before asking the students to guess how many gummy worms were in the canister to win a free "NOT ME!" book! Three Mavericks were the lucky winners!
Thank you to Mrs. Mortensen for your visit to CCE, and for sharing your lovely story with our Mavericks!







SAVE THE DATE!


Yesterday was a fun day in Preschool. We learned about how to measure ingredients, separate yolks from egg whites, mix until batter is formed, and worked on patiently waiting for 🎂. All while we got to celebrate one of our favorites, Mrs. Brugman ❤️. Happy Birthday!


Yesterday our 3-6th grade reading challenge began. The students were ready to DEAR (drop everything and read) in the new tents!








Today's Leader in Me Assembly covered Emotional Bank Accounts and how we want to be sure we are making deposits and lifting others vs. making withdrawals and not treating others how we want to be treated.
The students enjoyed the Lighthouse Team's theatrical presentation on this topic and are ready to make some emotional deposits in 2025!
Go Mavericks!





The 2nd graders enjoyed their lesson on creativity this morning!
Didn't they create BEAUTIFUL pieces of artwork?
We love how each is different and beautiful in its own unique way!
Our Mavericks truly are so talented!









Join us Monday, January 13th for Ag in the Classroom at the Royal Public Library.
