Divide County School District

Here's a "We've never seen that before" story for you all! On Friday, while our 3rd & 4th graders were out for their lunch recess, the kids started a game of soccer. Recess had only been going for about 3-4 minutes when one of the kids kicked the ball and, as it does from time to time, the ball went over the fence. It went over the fence, bounced once on the road and then went up into the wheel well of a vehicle driving by on the north side of the playground. The ball stuck there and the vehicle drove away with the ball bouncing in the wheel well! Crazy! The funniest part may have been watching the kids in their snow gear staring in shock as the suburban drove away, unknowingly with their soccer ball! So, if you happen to drive a white suburban type of vehicle and got home with a soccer ball, now you know the rest of the story!

We are feeling REALLY special at DCE lately! WHY? Well, for one, we have the best, supportive community and families! Throughout this year, we have been shown so much support and love from local businesses and residents. We just want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has donated time or items to our staff and students!

Each year the 3rd graders use a program called “Kicking It Multiplication” to learn their multiplication facts. Each day they have 60 seconds to complete 60 multiplication facts They earn belts along the way after mastering 4 sets of 60 facts. Soren Jacobs earned his yellow belt today after mastering sets A-D. Congratulations Soren!

With everything that has gone on in our world throughout this past year and dealing with all of the unknown's, it has been hard for adults to handle these things, and even harder for all of the little people in our lives. As parents, one thing that we encourage you to do is to increase the amounts of mindfulness and social-emotional conversations between your child and yourself. Having these conversations with your child will help your child's well-being, as well as create a more positive climate at home. We encourage everyone to participate in this social emotional bingo card- if your child completes at least 8 of the squares and brings it back to Ms. Wheeling or Mrs. Ratcliffe, your child will receive a golden ticket!
