To the Top They Must Go!

On Wednesday, January 19th, a crane lifted all of our air handling units onto the roof of our addition. There were 13 units added to the roof to meet the air handling needs of the approximately 10,000 square feet of new space. The bricklayers completed the exterior brick last week and have moved indoors to the 2nd floor and are laying block for the upstairs classroom walls.

The 2nd Floor Concrete is Finished!

On Thursday, January 13th, 7 cement trucks were pumped into the 2nd level of our addition as they poured and finished the concrete floor. Bricklayers will be finishing the outside brick work this week and starting the block walls on the 2nd level.

Okoboji Preschool Students Enjoy their new iPod Touch

Okoboji Elementary preschool students each received an iPod touch when they returned from Winter Break. Our preschool classrooms are enjoying a 1:1 learning environment. Preschool staff are demonstrating and teaching their students the proper care for the devices as they begin their first day back from break.

Preschool students have also had the opportunity to explore with the new devices as they try some of the new apps that were preloaded for the students. The apps were selected by the preschool teachers to provide new and extended learning opportunities as they follow their lesson plans and prepared activities.
