In group language the students in Mrs. Peterson’s class also explored the various colors and flavors that ice cream can be. Students smelled, touched, and/or tasted chocolate syrup, vanilla, strawberries, mangos, lemons, kiwis, blueberries, and blackberries.

The students in Mrs. Peterson’s class learned about the heart shape in preparation for Valentine’s Day. They made sensory bags with candy hearts in them. Students focused on language concepts such as “open”, “close”, “in”, and “out”. They also counted the number of candy hearts they put in the bag.

Students in Miss Taylor’s class learned about Valentine's Day in library story time. For art, they made bowls out of clay to give to their loved ones for Valentines Day. Pictures show students painting their bowls.

The students and staff at SDSBVI celebrated the 100th day of school and Valentine's Day with a party in the gym.
Heartfelt memories from our party!

Mrs. Peterson's class concluded their theme of the season "Winter" with making and enjoying homemade ice cream!
Each student learned about the ingredients needed to make the ice cream and helped pour and mix the ingredients. The students enjoyed tasting the ice cream and trying a topping of their choice on the ice cream. SDSBVI staff and students were invited to the classroom to enjoy some ice cream.

The students in Mrs. Peterson's class made a "winter" themed book.

Miss Skorheim selected books to read to Mrs. Peterson's students during library time that go with their theme of Winter.

The students in Mrs. Peterson's classroom have been learning about the season of Winter and doing various activities related to the cold temperatures. Mrs. Anderson lead the students in a fork painting polar bears eating ice cream craft project. They also listened to some interesting facts about polar bears and sung some songs about polar bears.

Students in Mrs. Peterson’s classroom listened to an interactive story about farm animals being found in the snow during group language. They explored puppets and learned about specific features each animal has. They also listened for the sounds each animal makes.

Her unwavering support, kindness, and dedication make a positive impact on all of us. She guides and empowers students, helping them navigate challenges and celebrate their successes. We’re so lucky to have her in our school community!

This weekend was our Goalball teams first event. Mr. Cody Brouwer and Coach Christy Hulscher accompanied Marcus LaCroix to participate in MN Academy's tournament.

Our “Star Student of the Quarter” is Sybilla!
She was nominated by Miss Taylor, Elementary and Braille Instructor.
“Sybilla is a silent leader. She is a role model for the younger students in school. She always greets them in the halls, listens to what they have to say, and makes everyone feel important. She is my go-to when I need help with something. I know I can always count on her. She encourages others to be the best versions of themselves.”
Students from Miss Taylor's class congratulated Sybilla on receiving Star Student of the Quarter and had their picture taken with her.
Congratulations Sybilla!
