The Winter Olympics have provided us with so many exciting learning opportunities! Here’s a glimpse at what we’ve been up to in grades 2, 3, and 4.
Students explored global greetings from around the world, collected and analyzed data, created Olympic-inspired poetry, and studied the origins of the Olympic Games — where and when they began and which countries are competing this year.
Of course, Olympic week wouldn’t be complete without our amazing PE classes! Students had the chance to learn about — and try their own versions of — sports like skeleton, curling, and mogul skiing. The energy and enthusiasm were truly gold medal–worthy!

A community forum, sponsored by the ConVal School Board, was held on Wednesday, February 18.
For just over an hour, members of the school board and the district administration presented on a variety of topics that will come before voters in March. Chief among them were the budget and several warrant articles, including one on open enrollment and one on Francestown's re-proposed withdrawal from the ConVal cooperative school district.
In the photo, Business Manager Neal Cass gives a detailed explanation of the proposed budget, including the district assessment.
After the presentation, audience members and online viewers engaged in an hour-long question-and-answer period with school board members and administrators.
The YouTube video of the community forum, including the Q&A session, can be accessed here.

Science class for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders has been full of excitement! Students dive into the wow factor of magnets pushing and pulling, build working circuits, and discover how these powerful forces are at work in their daily lives. They have especially enjoyed experimenting with different metals to see what can be attracted to a magnet and how magnets can repel objects. Students have also been exploring circuits and learning how to make things "move".

Six more weeks of winter. At Temple Elementary School, we celebrated. Mrs. Bruns put together a fun afternoon celebrating the folklore of Punxatowney Phil and his weather predictions for the next six weeks.
