Mrs. Trusty's first grade class was working hard today planning their informational paragraphs about animals! They used details in their texts to find descriptive words they can use to describe reef sharks, river otters, chimpanzees, and puffins. Next, they will use these to write their first drafts. Good work, first grade!




It was a great week of celebrating Mrs. Fuerste and all of our Maquoketa School Counselors. Thank you all for all you do to support students and staff. Today we certainly TEAMED up to support one another! 😊
