To bring awareness to National Suicide Prevention Month, all students in Ms. Emmarie Kaiser's classes wrote anonymous compliments to their classmates, school friends, role models, teachers/staff members, and selves. To keep the anonymity, Ms. Kaiser wrote each compliment for the students to read. When the students opened their envelopes and read other kids' compliments to them, they realized how big of an impact their words have on others. Students even made sure to compliment janitorial staff, kitchen staff, and students in the Special Education room.
The 4th graders read about energy conversions last week during science. To see this in action we converted chemical energy from potatoes into electrical energy to light up a small bulb!!

Attendance Appreciation Day!
We celebrated the classes that were able to achieve 95% or better attendance by enjoying some popcorn and taking part in a fun STEM challenge.
Students designed, built, tested, and modified paper airplanes as they worked to see if they could get their airplanes to fly all the way to half court in the gym!
It was a great afternoon of celebrating good attendance, teamwork, creativity, and a little friendly competition. We are proud of these students for making school attendance a priority!

This week Mrs. H's class has been learning about who works at our school and how we all help each other to keep our school running smoothly, clean, and safe.
Today we went around school to talk to different staff members about what their responsibilities (one of our big vocab words) are and how what they do helps us all.

Spelling + Basketball = A Winning Combination!
Last week, we turned spelling review into a little friendly competition! Our 5th graders raced to the board, put their spelling skills to the test, and then took their best shot at the basket.
There was lots of teamwork, excitement, and cheering along the way! I love seeing students practice their learning while having FUN!
We’re feeling ready for our spelling test!
