2nd graders in Mrs. Purvis' class completed a fun project during our science unit on landforms this week. In science, second graders are learning about landforms and processes that shape the earth. First, we built mountains, bluffs, and volcanoes with salt dough. After they dried, we painted our creations and added details.
Second-grade students in Mrs. Bagniewski's class took flight into learning as they researched different birds for a special class project! From colorful feathers to unique bird calls, these young scientists explored fascinating facts about their chosen birds and shared their discoveries with their classmates.

Third graders in Mrs. Shimek and Mrs. Stegemeyer's class wrapped up their reading of Because of Winn-Dixie with a special movie celebration! 🎬🐶 Students enjoyed egg salad sandwiches, pickles, 'litmus lozenges,' and 'dump punch'—just like in the story! The room was even decorated with pictures of dogs to bring the party to life. What a fun way to celebrate a wonderful book! 📖✨
Fifth graders at Trempealeau Elementary have been researching their favorite authors and learning about their author's craft by analyzing the author's work and style of writing. As a final project, the fifth graders sent letters to their authors! They will be patiently waiting to see if their favorite authors send a response back.
Mrs. Stegemeyer's 3rd graders took on the challenge of designing windproof houses! After learning about tornadoes, hurricanes, and dust storms, they built paper house models and tested ways to make them stronger. With teamwork and creativity, they engineered some awesome storm-ready designs! #FutureEngineers #STEMfun
Trempealeau Elementary 3rd and 5th graders are partnering with future educators from WSU to enhance their math skills and build a strong foundation in learning. This partnership will not only strengthen math understanding but also foster meaningful connections between our young learners and college students preparing for their teaching careers.
Students in Mrs. Manix's 5th grade class are working on creating their own planets.

Trempealeau Elementary students had an unforgettable day at Bruce Mound, enjoying tubing, skiing, and snowboarding! A huge THANK YOU to the Trempealeau PTO for sponsoring this fantastic trip—it was a perfect way to embrace winter fun and adventure!
Last night, Trempealeau Elementary 2nd graders took the stage at the PTO meeting to present a special proposal—sponsoring raptors from River Valley Raptors! With enthusiasm and well-prepared arguments, they shared why these amazing birds deserve our support and how it connects to their learning.
Their passion paid off! The PTO was persuaded to donate funds to sponsor three raptors—Cash, Winnie, and Cyrus!
Our hallways were filled with kindness, friendship, and lots of heart-shaped fun! Students exchanged valentines, created festive crafts, and enjoyed sweet treats with their classmates. It was a wonderful day to celebrate love and appreciation for one another.
Ms. Hafner's Kindergarten class was in the Valentine's Day spirit by creating valentine's to share with local residents.
Mrs. Thompson's 5th graders put their learning with decimals into action by turning their classroom into a restaurant! Everyone had the chance to play the role of a server while their "customers" ordered from menus from local businesses. Servers had to calculate the total cost of the meal and figure out how much change to give back once paid. The customers checked their server's math every step of the way to make sure they were being charged the appropriate amount and received the correct change back. Some of our servers ended up having V.I.P. customers that were very hungry and demanding. Once the server's job was complete, the customers made sure to tip their servers for their job well done!
Students at Trempealeau Elementary celebrated the 100th day of school with excitement and learning! From fun activities to creative projects, our students showed just how much they've grown in the past 100 days.
Mrs. Shimek’s and Ms. Hafner’s students got together for some fun buddy time. We counted Valentine hearts and played Tic-Tac-Toe!
Mrs. Purvis' class had lots of fun celebrating reaching a goal! They were able to build blanket forts and flashlight reading today!
We were thrilled to host our 4K Open House and welcome the next generation of Red Hawks! Families explored classrooms, met our fantastic staff, talk to members of our PTO, and got a glimpse of the exciting learning adventures that await.
Thank you to everyone who joined us — we can’t wait to see these young learners soar!
