Keystone Elementary

First graders are learning about plants and animals using their interactive reading and writing notebook. This is a learning tool they'll bring home after each unit so you can see what they've been working on and use for continued practice.

Did you know Benton elementary students participate in a lesson with our School Librarian, Mr. Frimml? Mr. Frimml also supports some TAG instruction throughout the district. He brings both of these topics together when he provides "Creative Challenge" lessons to students.
