Watching a child learn how to read can seem like magic sometimes. To see the gears turn in their heads and realize how a mess of letters turns into words, how those words become sentences, and so on. But there is a science to reading and in this episode of Teacher Talk (presented by South Dakota Public Broadcasting) our speakers discuss the science of the "science of reading."

Yesterday students at Eugene Field A+ Elementary got to experience a Multiple Intelligences Day based on the theme of "Hobbies". Presenters from the community came in to share their hobbies with the whole school! EFA chose this theme to introduce students to various hobbies that can be done indoors during winter months. Students got lots of ideas for fun new things to try, so we know they won't get bored over winter break!
School is out and winter break has begun! Just a quick reminder that there is NO SCHOOL from Friday, December 22nd, 2023 - Tuesday, January 2nd, 2024. Classes resume on Wednesday, January 3rd, 2024 as normal. Have a peaceful and relaxing break!

Our partners at School Bus Inc. "show up" in a lot of ways for SFSD students! This week, they dropped off several bags of games, activities, and toys that will be disseminated to students in the Sioux Falls School District. Keeping young minds engaged in productive activities over the winter break is good for everyone! Thank you SBI!
Let's start the week with a huge CONGRATULATIONS to our newest 💫🤩 SFSD All Star 🤩💫 Reanna Fitzgerald! Becki Stassi works with Reanna and had this to say about her, " Reanna is such a positive person and is so helpful to myself and the other 3 new Special Education Teachers here at Edison. She knows and loves her students! She takes the time to get to know them and know what they like and need. She continues to support students that have moved on to other grades. I often see 7th and 8th graders go out of their way to stop and say hi to Ms. Fitzgerald and get a hug. She is so willing to dive in and help when needed. She is also the lead Special Education Teacher here at Edison which is a job in itself!!! I have absolutely no hesitation to ask Reanna for help or guidance! She is so appreciated! She is bound for amazing things! Cannot wait to see her grow within the Sioux Falls School District!" Thank you, Reanna, for everything you do for your students and the SFSD community everyday!
