Save the dates! Please join us for our first ever Pancakes and Problem Solving breakfast in March! We will be serving pancakes and you will get to participate in a fun activity with your child. Afterwards, you are welcome to head over to the library to shop the book fair! We will have two fun filled events. On Tuesday, March 7th, we will host our K4-2nd grade families from 7:15 am-8:00 am. On Wednesday, March 8th, we will host our 3rd-5th grade families from 7:15 am-8:00 am. If you have children in each grade level band, you are welcome to attend both events as they will be slightly different and geared toward the appropriate grade level band.
There is no cost, but please RSVP by scanning below or e-mail Mrs. Snider at snidera@acsd3.org by Friday, February 10th so we can plan for enough breakfast and activities. Plan to attend the full 45 minutes for a short presentation at the end. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you in March!

🎄Candy Cane Grams 🎄
Iva Elementary Student Government is hosting a candy cane gram fundraiser in order to raise funds for a service project. Proceeds will be used to send care packages to the residents at the Iva Nursing home. We hope to spread lots of holiday cheer!
STEM day! 3rd-5th grade students applied the tutorial they completed on stop motion animation to create their own balloon float in honor of the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. They accomplished this while utilizing a variety of technology skills used in Google slides. When developing their balloon floats, the students had to create the illusion of it flying through the air as it does in a parade. The students finished their project in collaboration with Mrs. Fortner by adjusting the speed of the float and publishing their finished project to the web. The top 5 in each grade are posted in the link.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
