As you make your way through Parent Teacher Conferences tonight, be sure to check out the Food Chain Art completed by our 5th graders! They loved being able to show how energy moves through an ecosystem ⚡️🌳🐀🐍 @CrossCounty1

Say hello 👋 to the first Cross County Elementary Student Council! I am so excited to see what this group will do for our elementary students! Stay tuned to see updates throughout the year! @CrossCounty1

It may only be September, but 5th graders have already knocked a priority standard off their list in Math! Spent today conferencing with each student to discuss their scale scores! Blown away by the effort given on their bonus questions so they can earn a ‘4’ ✅ @CrossCounty1

A State Fair trip to remember! Had a great day with the crew! @CrossCounty1

Shoutout to the @valentinospizza guy who offered to take a pic of me with my 25-26 5th grade class! He’s the MVP in more ways than one today for sure 🍕📸 @CrossCounty1 #firstday

McLean Beef- our favorite 5th grade field trip! From farm➡️ to table! We love learning about where our beef comes from! 🥩🍔 @CrossCounty1

Townshend Act protest posters are done! These kids are LOVING our American Revolution unit! @CrossCounty1

This “Cougar in Training” is ready for the championship! #GoBigBlue @CrossCounty1

Research for our Black History Month papers has begun! Stay tuned for our finished projects! Students will have typed essays and Google slides presentations 😄 @CrossCounty1 @kileynielsen17

Student 1: “I wouldn’t know, I’ve never watched a Husker football game” Student 2: “ARE YOU LIVING IN A CAVE?!” ….only in Nebraska! #GoHuskers 🎈🏈

Congratulations to our Spelling Bee Participants and Alternates! A great group that will represent us well in the Polk County Spelling Bee!🐝 📝 @CrossCounty1

How’s your day going? I just had to justify the spelling of the word ‘knife’ to my Ukrainian student. “K?! No, Mrs. Woodruff. No K”. Understandable reaction tbh 🤣🤣

We’ve reflected on 2024 and made goals for 2025….bring on the new year! A very ambitious and dedicated group of kids in room 206! 🎉🥳🎊🪩 @CrossCounty1

An incredibly accurate representation of the last days before break. Wrapping parent gifts this morning! 🎄🎁 @CrossCounty1

@FixingEducation “Remember your why”

Hey Educators…What word/phrase annoys you the second you hear it?

5th grade Christmas Music Bingo stats: -22 smiling kids -1 bangin’ playlist -2 mini microphones -250 bingo counters -1 lost earring in a dramatic vocal performance (where is my Grammy?) -35 min of fun -1 sweating/tired teacher -infinite memories 🎄🎶🎤🎸😊 @CrossCounty1

5th grade applied for jobs at the North Pole and got to drink hot chocolate and share their stories. 🎅🏼 🎄

They couldn’t wait to share their silly spelling sentences/stories with each other today! So many laughs!!! 😂😂😂 I love their imagination! @CrossCounty1
