The first and third graders have been learning about emotions though the "Little Spot" books by Diane Alber. She identifies feelings through 7 main colors. The students got to make an ornament of one of the colors with the help of seniors, Brooklyn Bosma and Taryn Hegg. They had a fun time!

Middle school current events class made some treats and delivered them to the Senior Citizen Center downtown.

The physics bridge building competition was underway this morning. Camden Stahl won the competition with a bridge that held 450 lbs!

Congratulations to Auden and Neil for being selected as the NHS youth leaders for November!

3rd-grade handled bread with dirty and clean hands. We grew mold on both slices. The clean hands grew the most mold. 🤢

The Prek, K, and 1st grade classes were surprised with a "67th" day of school. With the current trend of "6/7" the kids were elated to see what their teachers had planned. We predicted how many rolls it would take to get to 67, made hats, "67 bingo", wrote as many numbers as they could in 67 seconds and more! They were also provided entertainment by the 3rd grade class, who taught Prek two different finger puppet plays. Third graders also paraded the Thanksgiving Balloons they created. It was a great day of review, fellowship, and culminating new buddy relationships between the classes!

D.A.R.E. Graduation was a success!

Our Reader's Theater made it to State Oral Interp, which will be next Friday, December 5, in Watertown!! So proud of these kids!

Please see the lost and found and have them claimed before the Thanksgiving break. I also have a Kendra Scott necklace - please verify the color and style of the stone when claiming.
