A special thanks to Abby Mencke for her insightful presentation about incorporating diverse texts at the staff meeting: it was inspiring to hear ideas on using these new books to help students see themselves and others reflected in literature. An additional thank you goes out to our staff for always being willing to learn and grow for the betterment of our students!
We hope to see you at the Aquatic Center Open House.
Second Grade learned all about what happens when you dial 911. They learned that you can even text 911 in a quiet emergency!

Fremont High School is running a Trine dual credit education class. Joyce Dirig, an excellent high school English teacher, is teaching the course. The students spent quite a bit of time in Fremont Elementary, but had the opportunity to observe Jefferson as well. We were so grateful to have the opportunity to welcome the students from Fremont High School into our classrooms. This visit was an excellent opportunity for them to experience a diverse and vibrant school community, a valuable contrast to their smaller town of Fremont. We love having visitors, and are so grateful to host these students!

Branch ISD PAC presents "Make a Difference" Awards!
The make a difference award is given on an annual basis to individuals who have made a significant, positive impact on the educational experience of a student with special needs. Nominate a teacher today!
Mrs. Hodge's class has been diligently building life skills within their academic time. We have been learning how to create a good partnership in conjunction with setting personal goals regularly. Students have been practicing knowing when to ask for help and who to partner with. Students have focused on empowering themselves and boosting their confidence by practicing making these responsible choices. That is their classroom goal as they continue together for the remainder of the year. Watching them create meaningful groups during class time has been empowering.
Mrs. Mencke's class and Mrs. Hodge's class recently read about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Students identified various inside character traits of Martin Luther King Jr. Students created a drawing of him, putting the character traits in the stained glass window behind him. They then read the book Be a King and chose a way that they could "be a king" too by demonstrating similar character traits to Martin Luther King Jr. Students were reflective, talking about ways that are actively showing qualities like honesty, integrity, kindness, respect, responsibility, compassion, courage, loyalty, patience, and fairness through their actions and interactions with others.
Mrs. Welker's class has been working diligently on their informational writing. Students wrote a nonfiction animal book, published it using Google Slides, and shared the books with each other. We are so proud of our third-grade authors!
Statement from District
Miss Wilson, the student teacher in Mrs. Fondren's class, has been busy teaching math in small groups. She is teaching all about division and what it means to divide.
Students in Mrs. Hodge's class and Mr. Cross' class have been working on creating attainable math fact fluency goals this year. They began these goals in August, hoping to reach their personal "Level 5" goal by the mid-year point. Students have been having many amazing conversations about best-fit goals, adjusting goals that are too difficult, and creating goals that aren't too easy. This is definitely something that they are so proud of! Students who met their goal participated in a fun game challenge and had an ice cream party! Congratulations to those students! We can't wait to celebrate all of the students who reach their final level ("level 10") in May, as well as everyone who meets "level 5" later in the year!
Students have been so excited to earn GOLDEN TICKETS for our new behavior incentive program. Select teachers are given a special golden ticket to acknowledge a student going above and beyond in following our Jefferson Pride expectations. The second group of winners have been chosen!
They won the opportunity to have a special McDonald's lunch together in the library! They had a fantastic time! Congratulations Cardinals!
