The story behind Chrissy is that she was a Christmas gift I received 47 years ago. She was lost for many years and found when my brothers cleaned out the attic. I used her for mock crime scenes, and the forensics students decided to use her to see how observant we all are.
Chrissy has gone missing once again!

Teacher Spotlight
Special Education Teacher: Mrs. Hoff
Beth received her teaching license from Moorhead State University, Moorhead, MN in 1993 with a double major in special education and elementary education. At that time, North Dakota was the only state that required a special education teacher had to have either an elementary or secondary education major in order to teach special education. She interviewed at both Fargo North and Dickey LaMoure Sped Unit, which is the one she, chose and it is now called James River Sped Unit. She completed her Master’s thesis in 1995. She taught grades 7-12 special education in LaMoure where she took one year off when she had all 4 of her kids at home…4 kids 4 and under was too much for this lady to manage along with a full-time job.
She is originally from McIntosh, SD where her father was a Superintendent and her mother was an elementary teacher. She has 5 siblings where the 3 oldest are in the medical field and the 3 youngest are in the education sector. She has been married for almost 30 years to Wayne and they have 4 children. Katrina is a rescue nurse with the Sanford Hospitals in Fargo, ND. Rachel has less than a year left until she completes her elementary and special education degrees. Andrew is going into Business Administration and Lukas is going into Finance and all have attended NDSU!
Now that she is an empty nester. She is starting to have more time to do arts and crafts. She enjoys reading, spending time traveling, being at the lake, spending time with both sides of the family (Seilers and Hoffs) and playing games…especially Spoons.
Words of advice: Be kind to everyone because you never know what that person is going through and once words leave your mouth, they can never be erased!
We've never seen your cape or mask, but we see your superpowers every day! Thanks for being a super teacher!
The Iditarod race began over the weekend. Today was the 4th grade students' first experience of tracking their mushers and learning about the history of this great race. Pictured here is the musher in the lead with her husky and the musher with the Red Lantern, which represents Perseverance.
Chrissy has been found! I don't think she was happy about how long it took.
See the bracket for Region 3 Boys Basketball Tournament.
4th grade did research on their selected biome, learning about the plant and animal life in each. They then created their diorama representing each. I am always amazed at the creativity involved when they are limited to random everyday supplies.
E-Learning is fine and all, but 4th grade prefers to be together when we can!
Mrs. Carlson, Mrs. Jansen, and their Jaw Dawgs are working on cooperation and listening skills in the 4th grade room.
