Mrs. Loosvelt’s second-grade class enjoyed a special visit from Dr. Kay, who took time out of his busy schedule to read a Christmas story to the students. The class was excited to welcome him into the classroom, and the students truly enjoyed the opportunity to spend time with him. We are grateful for his visit and support.

Community partnerships are just one of the many reasons we love Columbus Public Schools!
On Wednesday, Dr. Wanda Cloet and her team of dental hygiene students from Central Community College - Hastings spent the afternoon at Emerson performing dental screenings. These screenings included an assessment of the oral cavity, inspection of each student's teeth and application of sealants if applicable. Occupational Health staff from Columbus Community Hospital served as a liaison and provided dental kits provided by DHHS to each participating student whose parent completed the consent form. We had 77 students participate!
Thank you to CCH & Dr. Cloet's team for making this a great event at Emerson Elementary!

Mr. Bates is the ruler, or the yardstick?. In this fourth grade math class, students learned about units of measurement. Today they learned about standard length units such as an inch, a foot, a yard, and a mile. They also learned how to convert between the standard units. Most fourth grade students say that math is their favorite subject, and by the reaction of one student's face, I believe them.
Tune in next week where we will be visiting our last of the the classroom teachers.
