Douglas 4th Graders took a field trip to WHS on Thursday to visit with the FFA students.
Mr. Stollberg and Miss Olen's classes joined up for Trivia Thursday during their morning meeting! While having a blast, students worked on SO many skills - focusing attention, listening, sharing their ideas, supporting ideas with evidence, cooperation, and accepting outcomes. Learning is fun as a 5th Grade Douglas Tiger!
Mr. Olszewski brought his fifth graders on a trip to the office to formally meet Mrs. Stankey in the health room! During their morning meetings, Mr. O and his class explore and discuss the Essential 55 life skills - one of which is greeting others by name! “Good morning, Mrs. Stankey!”
