7th and 8th grade Science students are nearing completion of their robot builds and have begun the testing phase. (Water Robot) Stop by the Science Room and have the students show you their work)
Students are actively applying the scientific method by forming hypotheses, testing their designs, observing outcomes, and making adjustments based on their results.
This hands-on learning experience highlights science at its best—engaging, problem-solving focused, and student-driven. Through trial, error, and collaboration, students are deepening their understanding of engineering concepts while strengthening critical thinking and perseverance skills. Great Job Kiddos

Selfridge 7th and 8th grade students have been hard at work in Science using their Robot Kits, and the learning has been exciting to see!** These hands-on activities allow students to apply problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration skills in a meaningful way. Building, testing, and refining their robots gives students the opportunity to learn by doing—because hands-on learning truly is the best.
A big thank you to **Mr. Johnson** for providing engaging, high-quality learning experiences that spark curiosity and keep students actively involved. Great work all around!
So excited to see our littles learning to read using **UFLI**! 📚✨ The engagement, focus, and confidence they showed today was incredible to watch. Our students are truly building strong foundational reading skills, and it’s paying off in a big way.
A huge shout-out to **Miss Theresa** and **Miss Patty**—you both absolutely rocked it today! 👏 Your clear instruction, hands-on approach, and positive energy created a learning environment where students felt supported, successful, and excited to read. The routines were smooth, expectations were clear, and the kids were fully locked in from start to finish.
Moments like these are a great reminder that when strong instruction meets dedication and heart, amazing learning happens. So proud of our Kindergarten littles.💙📖

*PE Skills on Display*
* Striker Ball Game*
Students practice striking a ball using controlled swings. This game helps build hand–eye coordination, balance, and timing while teaching students how to aim, adjust force, and avoid accidentally bonking their friends. It’s all about learning to hit the ball on purpose and feeling like a sports superstar while doing it.
*Balloon Skills*
Balloons float, wobble, and refuse to listen—making them perfect teachers. Students respond to cues like “tap,” “catch,” or “don’t let it touch the floor!” while chasing runaway balloons around the space. This activity builds coordination, reaction time, and fundamental motor skills, all while tricking kids into exercising because they’re too busy laughing and saving their balloon from dramatic disaster 🎈

🎉📚 **SEMESTER ONE HONOR ROLL ALERT!** 📚🎉
Big-time congratulations to our **Selfridge Honor Roll students**! These amazing kiddos put in the effort, stayed focused (most of the time 😉), and proved that hard work truly pays off.
They tackled assignments, survived tests, powered through projects, and somehow still remembered to turn things in—now *that* is impressive! 🧠✏️ Their dedication, determination, and positive attitudes are something to celebrate loud and proud.
We couldn’t be more proud of the work these students have done. They are setting the bar high, leading by example, and showing that success isn’t luck—it’s earned. 👏👏👏
Way to go, Selfridge Honor Roll students! Keep shining, keep learning, and keep making Selfridge a place where great things happen every day! 💙📖✨

3rd & 4th grade kiddos tackling fractions today… and nobody cried! 🎉😂
3rd and 4th Grade Students used our new **fraction manipulatives**, including some very convincing **½ apple pieces** 🍎, and suddenly fractions weren’t scary anymore. The kids could see it, touch it, and actually *get it* — two halves make a whole, equal parts matter, and yes… fractions can be fun!
There were lots of “OHhhhhh!” moments, big smiles, and a few kids who are now very confident fraction experts (at least with apples 😄). Hands-on learning for the win, and a tough lesson turned into a total success! 🍎➗✨

A huge thank you to the Community Alliance Group for their incredible generosity and creativity in hosting the Gratitude Gift Shop!
Today, our K–6 students traveled to McLaughlin and had the wonderful opportunity to select one or two special gifts to give to a loved one or caregiver as a way to say “thank you” for all they do.
This experience not only brought joy to our students but also taught the importance of gratitude and giving. We are so fortunate to have such a caring and supportive community making moments like this possible.
Selfridge School deeply appreciates the Community Alliance Group for going above and beyond to create this meaningful experience for our kids!

Pajama Day was on Monday!
More pictures from the Sioux County Gratitude Project...Thanks Again
A massive thank you to the Shields/Selfridge Sportsman Club for the treat bags!
🍬🥜 Candy **and** peanuts—because why choose just one when you can have perfection? The kids were pumped as they got off the bus, and let’s be honest… a few “samples” were taken for quality assurance (My Job).
Thanks for the generosity and the snacks that made our day way more fun!
