📘 The Power of Reading Aloud
When children learn to read independently, we often celebrate by retiring the bedtime story routine. However, literacy experts note that around 5th grade is exactly when reading for pleasure starts to decline. Keeping the read-aloud tradition alive with our older students is one of the most powerful tools we have to keep them engaged, curious, and growing. To read more about how we are doing just that with our 5th and 6th graders at Tri County click the link to read more.

October is National Principals Month!
At Tri County, we're fortunate to have three outstanding principals who help make our schools such a great place to learn, work, and grow!

From supporting students and staff to celebrating achievements, navigating challenges, and keeping things running smoothly, these three wear many hats throughout the school day!
We appreciate their leadership, dedication, and the countless ways they make a difference in our school community.

Case Closed! For the past three weeks, our 5th graders have been working hard to crack the case during library! Today, Lane was the first detective to solve the mystery of the Grumpy Ghost!
The students had a BLAST analyzing clues, questioning suspects, making inferences, using deductive reasoning, strengthening reading comprehension, and piecing together evidence to solve the crime.
Don't tell them they were also practicing some pretty important language arts skills!
Great detective work, 5th graders!

Congratulations to Henry Holtmeier who auditioned and was selected to represent Tri County at the NMEA All State Choir in November! Henry will join approximately 400 students for the 3 day event with a final concert at the Lied Center! 🎵
Thanks to the generosity of the Tri County PTO, several Tri County elementary students enjoyed a field trip to the Lincoln Children’s Zoo on October 7th to participate in the Sensory Safari and visit the Bee Me Sensory Gym!
During Sensory Safari, students explored the natural world using all their senses. They examined animal skulls, pelts, and furs; listened to bird calls and other nature sounds; and experienced different scents at the smell stations. Students also had opportunities to interact with live reptiles and learned about Nebraska’s native plants and animals. With the help of volunteers and nature experts, students enjoyed a hands-on learning experience. One of the highlights of the visit was riding the zoo train!
After exploring the zoo, students visited Bee Me Sensory Gym, where they enjoyed sensory-rich play, movement, and relaxation activities in a welcoming environment. Students were able to explore at their own pace and enjoy activities that matched their interests and needs.
A special thank-you to the Tri County PTO for making this memorable learning experience possible! These opportunities allow students to explore, learn, and grow through hands-on experiences beyond the classroom.
Check out these amazing creations the Second Graders have built during their daily STEM bin time!
Congratulations to Spencer Morrissey who was selected to represent Tri County at the Middle Level All State Choir! The event will take place in November with a final concert at the Lied Center! 🎵
