The Weather Service indicates the greatest threat of severe weather did not materialize in Sioux Falls. We will begin our bus routes at approximately 3pm, so there will be a slight delay in getting elementary and middle school students home. High School dismisses at normal time.
Due to the weather 4-30-24, SFSD will hold all elementary students who walk or ride the bus until the system passes. We expect the system to arrive about 2:45pm and be done around 3pm. Busses will not leave the elementary schools until it is safe to do so. This will also cause a delay in middle school bus routes, so plan accordingly. If wx is still an issue at high school dismissal time, we will encourage students to wait to leave until the system passes. Thank you.
Weather may cause some challenges at school dismissal time today. SFSD will make plans with your child's safety as our highest priority. If there are changes, parents/guardians will be contacted immediately. We ask that you please monitor your phone and email closely.

In Art Integration, 2nd grade students created bracelets that represent at 3 digit number. Each color represents a place value (hundreds, tens, ones). The amount shows how many of each place value is in the number.
After creating their bracelets they met with classmates, to identify their partner's number, determine which number was larger, and then make an equation with both numbers. If both partners had a black band, they would add, if both had white they would subtract, and a mix would allow them to choose. They worked together to solve the equation and determine the total or difference.
5th graders are studying Greek and Latin bases to help with vocabulary. They can understand not only the word, but the definition depending on perspective.

Today students learned about the parts of an egg and got to crack unfertilized eggs to explore the parts of an egg. Next week students will participate in the candling of the chicken eggs in their incubators.

On Tuesday we had the Spring Orchestra and Band Concert.
The 4th and 5th graders were directed by Mrs. Bogue, Mrs. Hakeman, and Mr. Anderson. They sounded fantastic!
Intermediate students choreographed, practiced, and performed their own dances using a $15 budget.
This lesson allowed them to use their Math Smart, People Smart, and Body Smart skills.
These EFA+ students volunteered with It Takes a Village building hygiene kits, post partum kits, and new home kits for women in the community.
