Hey Cats! Ms. Miranda-Blanco always has something fun and engaging going on in herSpanish Social Studies class and last week was no different! Here is her description of their project: "We were reading and analyzing texts about Guatemala and its culture. At the end, we recreated a Guatemalan street market. Students researched Guatemalan handicrafts, built one, wrote an informational poster, and created their stand for the market. They had to also demonstrate mastery of a certain language topic from this unit." We loved the creativity the students displayed and the hard work that they put in with their teams! Great work Ms. Miranda-Blanco and Team 8-3 students!

Hey Cats! Sorry we are late on this one, but we are proud to present our DECEMBER students of the month! We are super impressed with the outstanding leadership qualities that they have displayed at Edison this year!

Let's start the week with a huge CONGRATULATIONS to our newest 💫🤩 SFSD All Star 🤩💫 Reanna Fitzgerald! Becki Stassi works with Reanna and had this to say about her, " Reanna is such a positive person and is so helpful to myself and the other 3 new Special Education Teachers here at Edison. She knows and loves her students! She takes the time to get to know them and know what they like and need. She continues to support students that have moved on to other grades. I often see 7th and 8th graders go out of their way to stop and say hi to Ms. Fitzgerald and get a hug. She is so willing to dive in and help when needed. She is also the lead Special Education Teacher here at Edison which is a job in itself!!! I have absolutely no hesitation to ask Reanna for help or guidance! She is so appreciated! She is bound for amazing things! Cannot wait to see her grow within the Sioux Falls School District!" Thank you, Reanna, for everything you do for your students and the SFSD community everyday!

Yesterday was a weird day at Edison. On an average day, we only have 6 pairs of twins in our school, but yesterday we had about 500 it seemed like! Here are a few pictures of the students and staff that were "TWINNING" yesterday!

Today is a beautiful December day, but we know it can't last forever in South Dakota! Make sure you and your student(s) know how to access Canvas for remote learning when weather that keeps kids home can be predicted in advance.

Hey Cats! At Edison we are celebrating the Holidays a couple of weeks early! Here are some of our dress up days for the rest of the week! Wednesday - Misle-Toes (Wear your crazy socks!) Thursday - Two Turtle Doves (Twin with Someone!) Friday - Long Winters Nap (Pajama Day!)

Hello Cats! Our "lost and found" at Edison is overflowing with clothes and items! If your student is missing something, make sure that they come and look for it before FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8TH as we will be donating all unclaimed items! Thank you! Go Cats!
