NBAMS 6th grade Spanish students spent a week creating games to teach Kindergarten Spanish students basic conversation words. The 6th graders then visited the Ed Center and spent the class period teaching and playing their games with the younger students. As it was such a beautiful day, the classes met outside to learn under the sun. Sounds like fun!

We had a 6/7 kind of day celebrating the 67th day of school! 🎉
Ms. Carmen and Ms. Lorie’s classrooms had an amazing day counting, comparing, dancing, singing, and snacking with the numbers 6 and 7. From creative activities to joyful movement, our students brought learning to life in the most fun and engaging ways!

Kindergartners worked in teams to build houses using “straw” (toothpicks), “sticks” (craft sticks), or “bricks” (foam craft bricks), just like in the classic story. They even had a surprise visit from the Big Bad Wolf—a fan—that tried to blow their houses down to see which designs were the strongest!

The North Branch Area Education Center had the honor of welcoming Minnesota author Mary Casanova to spend time with all of our kindergarten classes. She shared her journey as a writer and gave students a behind-the-scenes look at storytelling, imagination, and how books are created. Our students were completely engaged — curious, excited, and inspired by meeting a real, live author.
This special experience was made possible because of YOU.
Thanks to the funds raised during last year’s Viking Fun Run Fundraiser, we were able to bring Mary Casanova to our school. And through a generous grant from the North Branch Area Education Foundation (NBAEF), every kindergarten student received their own copy of One-Dog Canoe to take home.

Today, 7th graders who made the A and B Honor Roll, or "On a Roll," had none other than our own Papa Charlie read their names over the PA!

Papa Charlie continues to be very active, assisting with Concerts in the Park for 20 years and the football chain gang on Friday nights!

Last week, NBAEC students were treated to a visit from the Snow Court. It's always so wonderful to see the awe early learning students have for their older peers, but also the patience and generosity of high school students when they spend time with our youngest students! SKOL!
