The Learning Expedition at Galesville Elementary has reached a new peak! 🏔️

A massive shout-out to our brave Red Hawk Explorers who conquered the Classroom Spelling Bee! These trailblazers have successfully navigated the first leg of their journey and earned their spot in our School-Wide Spelling Bee next Monday.

We are so proud of the grit and determination these adventurers showed. We wish them clear skies and steady trekking as they take the stage to spell their way to the summit! #galesvillepride

Our guest leader spent her day:

  • 📖 Reading stories to fellow classrooms (keeping that GE Reads spirit alive!).

  • 🥛 Assisting with the snack milk routine like a pro.

  • 🌳 Leading the way by taking our learning outside to enjoy the fresh Galesville air.

🎨🎻 Art, Music, and Red Hawk Pride! Our 5th-grade adventurers took their learning on the road today! Our GE explorers headed across the river to Minneapolis for an incredible day of culture and inspiration.

From the iconic sculptures at the Walker Art Center to the breathtaking sounds of the Minnesota Orchestra, our students represented Galesville Elementary with excellence with several comments from others on the great manners our students displayed. It was a day filled with "oohs," "aahs," and plenty of creative sparks! #galesvillepride

On Tuesday morning, the Galesville Elementary kindergarten classes took a short walk over to Zion Lutheran Church to spend some time with the Zion Lutheran Quilters. The students got to see firsthand how these kind-hearted ladies turn donated fabric into all kinds of beautiful quilts.

The students were wide-eyed at just how many quilts come together each Tuesday morning down in the church basement. Every stitch has a purpose—these quilts are shared with the police department, first responders, and the fire department to help folks going through tough times. Some even make their way to other parts of the country, spreading a little warmth and kindness wherever they land. #galesvillepride

It’s been an incredible day at Galesville Elementary! Today, our winners from the Environmental Day Silent Auction officially took over the school, and our Red Hawks proved they are ready to lead! 🦅

Check out some of today’s highlights:

Principal for the Day: Our student principal was busy leading morning announcements, keeping things safe during recess duty, and managing the daily "expedition" of school life!

Classroom Takeovers:Future educators were in the making as they ran Mrs. Lavery’s 4K class with great energy!

First grade was in excellent hands with our student leaders in Mrs. Naughton’s room.

Staff Lounge Takeover: The students officially claimed the lounge as their own for the day!

Special Lunch: A group of lucky leaders enjoyed a celebratory lunch with Ms. Andre.

Our 4K explorers, led by Ms. Schock's creativity, took on a legendary STEAM challenge this week! After reading the classic tale of the Three Billy Goats Gruff, our young engineers put their thinking caps on to help the goats cross safely.

Using a variety of materials, students designed and built their own bridges. They had to consider:

Stability: Will it hold the weight of a goat?

Design: Is it high enough to keep the troll underneath?

Creativity: How can we make it sturdy and strong?

At GE, we believe play is the best way to learn. Watching these students collaborate and problem-solve proves that you're never too young to be an engineer! #galesvillepride

A huge Red Hawk "Thank You" to our fantastic guest readers, including Mr. Oliver and Mr. Peterson, for sharing their time and love of reading with our adventurers today! But the fun didn't stop at the books. It was also Vocab Dress-Up Day, and our students and staff truly outdid themselves! We saw some incredible (and educational!) representations, including: • 🌈 Vibrant colors everywhere! • ⬛ Monochromatic masterpieces! • 🪄 Magical ensembles! • 🐎 Equestrian excellence!

Carol Howard, retired Galesville Elementary teacher, and Winnie, an English Setter, visited GE Kindergartners to teach about taking care of pets and being safe around animals when out in the community. Our students are so fortunate to have the opportunity to learn important life skills from this classroom veteran and her well-behaved dog. #galesvillepride

The GE Kindergartners learned all about shapes, colors, and fabrics during a quilt presentation by Barb Longwell, former GE educator. She brought her childhood sewing machine, and each student used the machine to sew a pocket to take home. How special to have a cherished member of our community teaching the next generation about these important skills! Thank you, Mrs. Longwell! #galesvillepride

Love and learning were in the air today at Galesville Elementary! ❤️🦅 Our Red Hawks celebrated a day of kindness by putting their BRAINS to work with some incredible STEM challenges. 🧠✨

From reviewing math facts with seasonal flair to engineering towering structures using candy gummies, our students proved that creativity and critical thinking go hand-in-hand. It wasn't just about the treats; it was about the teamwork and problem-solving that happens when we support one another! #galesvillepride

Red Hawks Soaring Together! 🦅

There is nothing better than seeing our older students step up as leaders. Ms. Lee’s 5th-grade "explorers" joined forces with Ms. Moss’s 2nd-grade class to kick off their new Wisconsin Birds writing unit!

Our 5th graders shared their research expertise to help our 2nd graders discover the amazing birds that call our state home. We love seeing this kind of collaboration and mentorship in our hallways!
