It was a fantastic week back at IDEA Elsa Academy after the Fall Break! We were so eager to see our Little Badgers!

Mr. Rodriguez's class hit the ground running Monday morning with an interactive lesson about Weight

Ms. Borrego's Kinder class was greeted with a new visitor, Mr. Jingles! He's always watching!

We also have Sparkles keeping an eye on our Little Badgers this holiday season in Mrs. Tamez's 1st grade class!

1st grade lunch transitions looking awesome!

We welcomed back our amazing teachers with some sweet treats! Thank you, teachers for all the dedication and effort you give on daily basis for our Little Badgers!

Congratulations to our newest Word Masters and Math Masters that worked extremely hard to reach their goals during the Fall Break!

IDEA Authors Prompts

IDEA Authors essay prompts were released this week! The deadline for all students to submit their essays is December 13th and scholars should be writing their essays at home. Ask your child what he/she is planning to write for this month’s essay. Here are the prompts:


2nd – 5th Grades (Due December 13)

Think about a significant character who was not the primary protagonist in a book you’ve recently read.

Write an essay explaining what made the character significant to the story. Describe how the character affected the plot of the novel and/or the actions of other characters in the novel.


You may explain that the protagonist is the central character in a literary work who usually initiates the main action of the story. Note that this essay is asking students to analyze a character other than the protagonist.



Thanks for stopping by! We'll see you next week!
