On today's episode of Eyewitness Emerson...
Mrs. Retzlaff, and her second grade students, took time during their knowledge class to review Greek Mythology. Using their iPads, students scanned a QR code and logged into the Kahoot! app. This app is a fun, game-like, way for teachers to assess how much their students have learned on a subject.
Tune in Friday to see what they'll be doing next!

Mrs. Loosvelt's second grade class has been learning about Greek Mythology. They've studied things such as gods and goddesses, Mount Olympus and the Underworld, and even the myths of how things came to be. So in today's lesson, it was the students' turn to write their own myth of how something in the world came to be.
Tune in next week where we will be visiting Mrs. Retzlaff's second grade classroom.

Emerson students were visited by some special guests in these past two weeks. Last Friday, we celebrated "High Five Friday" by inviting the CCC boys Basketball team to get our students pumped for a day of learning. Also, yesterday, the CHS musical cast brought a shortened version of their show for our students to watch. Our students love when we have "special guests" in the building!
