ICE CREAM FOR BOOKS A GREAT SUCCESS The Title I Teaching Staff of Lynda Wosmek, Judy Carlson, Pam Hanson and Shirley Luttrell had a very successful evening for their new school event "Ice Cream for Books". Students were invited to bring in gently used books for points then trade them in on brand new books. The November 6th evening at Wadena Elementary was filled with bingo, storytelling, book shopping and ice cream eating. The attendance was approximately 300 students plus their parents! The event was very well organized and supported by WDC staff volunteers.

Author
Will Durbin to visit Deer Creek School 5th and 6th grade students will have the wonderful opportunity to hear Minnesota author Will Durbin speak on Monday, Feb. 7th at the Deer Creek Elem. School. Will Durbin is an award winning author and teacher who lives at the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. He has published ten books for young readers, including 3 of the “Dear America” series, “Blackwater Ben”, “Wintering”, and “Broken Blade”. Our 6th grade students due a novel study on “Broken Blade” each year as part of their MN history curriculum, so they are especially excited to see this author in person. Mr. Durbin will do an hour presentation at 1:00, and then be available to sign copies of his books. We will have some copies of his books available for purchase at Deer Creek School. You can visit his website at williamdurbin.com |

Statue of Liberty
Sixth Graders are learning about the Statue of Liberty and the symbolism that accompanies her. Did you ever wonder why in the 1800's a woman was chosen to represent freedom and hope rather than a man? Why are there seven spikes on the statue's crown? What is written on the table she holds in her left hand? These are the questions any 6th grader can answer after learning through their reading class. Mrs. Grendahl, Instructor |
