Our first graders are learning about birds in English Language Arts (ELA). Mrs. Register's class enjoyed meeting Mrs. Firkins' pet bird, Ocean. Our teachers are always willing to collaborate to bring meaningful learning experiences to our students. #DeSotoDifference










Mrs. Foster's Pre-K class figured out how many kid sized shoes would fill up a triceratops' footprint. 👣 What a great way to connect students' background knowledge to new learning about dinosaurs 🦕 🦖

Welcome to our Leader In Me Journey at NDLE!! #DreamBelieveAchieve


Spread the word to any prospective teachers to come to Discover DeSoto!



Read Across America week has been fun at NDLE! We hosted families at our Literacy Night, NDHS students came over to read to our students, students dressed as their favorite Dr. Seuss character on Friday, and Mrs. Burford read the whole school a Dr. Seuss book on Google Meet everyday. Reading with your children builds background knowledge, vocabulary and all of the brain activity that helps them to eventually read independently.








See the picture of the flyer for another opportunity to serve our local community. The animal shelter is asking for families to fill an old prescription bottle with coins and turn it in to their teacher. The class who donates the most change will get have a visit from one of the shelter animals!


Booster Club will sell concessions TOMORROW!
