Walk-in-Wednesday: 1st Grade with Miss Kirstin Reistad

Each week, families interested in learning more about a classical, Christian education at Immanuel can join us for a Walk-in-Wednesday tour to see our students and teachers in action. When you step through our red doors, you will be welcomed by the joyful sounds of learning, from poems and jingles in the lower grades, to great discussions of literature and history in our older grades. Singing and music ring out from the music room, and the wonderful sights and sounds of students and teachers engaged in learning can be witnessed throughout our campus. If you haven’t yet had a chance to visit us in person and experience this for yourself, we would like to offer a virtual tour here on the ILS Blog.

Every Wednesday, we will be featuring a brief sneak peek from one of our teachers, highlighting what a visitor might observe when they walk into our classrooms. Through this, we hope to create an image of just some of what a visitor may experience if they were to stop in Jr. Kindergarten, or 3rd grade, or 8th grade Science, or 6th grade History, or any one of our classrooms at ILS. 

We are kicking off our new “Walk-in-Wednesday” series this week with an inaugural post sharing a bit of the delightful teaching and learning you may observe if you were to step into our 1st grade classroom this week! Join us as we peek into Miss Kirstin Reistad’s classroom for a glimpse at some of the delightful things our 1st grade students are studying.

We hope you enjoy, and please visit the blog each week as we share additional “Walk-in-Wednesday” features!

Reformation History Song

Blessed Reformation Day! 

Are you as excited about the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation as our ILS teachers?

Our outstanding 1st and 2nd grade teachers (and sisters!) Miss Kirstin Reistad and Miss Rebekah Reistad, collaborated to write the lyrics to this amazing song to teach their students all about the Reformation!

Six Questions: Meet Miss Kirstin Reistad, 1st grade teacher

Please join us in welcoming Miss Kirstin Reistad to our Immanuel Lutheran School faculty this year as our new 1st grade teacher!

As we prepare to begin the 2016-2017 academic year, ILS is thrilled to have several excellent new teachers join our faculty. Each of these teachers are taking a moment to respond to our Six Questions Series to help our community get to know them a bit more before the start of the year, and they very much look forward to getting to know our ILS students and families in the next few weeks!

Lutheran Schools Week - Learn Together

During Lutheran Schools Week, our faculty shared reflections on this year's theme of Life Together in Christ, focusing on the different aspects as we play together, serve together, pray together and learn together. In today's reflection, 1st grade teacher Mrs. Gorr shares insights on learning together at ILS.
