Julesburg Elementary continues to celebrate all things literacy! We would like to give a special thank you to our Superintendent, Mr. Ehnes for serving as our guest reader today. Students took on a Christmas Break Reading Challenge and tracked how many different places they could read over break. Students were rewarded with a hot chocolate party and a story read by Mr. Ehnes. The book was "What Would You Do With A Chance" by Kobi Yamada and Mr. Ehnes shared a great message about being brave and taking chances in order to take part in new and exciting experiences. It was a great day to be a Julesburg Elementary Student!
It's Breakfast with Buddies! Julesburg Elementary School celebrated its first coffee talk this week with a focus on the importance and benefits of good school attendance. Thank you to all of the parents and students who attended. We look forward to seeing you all again in February!

Sixth grade learned about shades of meaning, or the different levels of intensity, that words can have. Yesterday they did a fun activity where they had to find a more intense word to replace a bland word in a given sentence. Today, they navigated around the room to rate the intensity of similar words, choose the more descriptive word, and come up with a better alternative to the boring word that was given.
