Mrs. Swenson's TK students continue to grow!
As the fourth grade students went through Eureka! Student Inventors, they read a range of informational texts about inventors, inventions, and the creation process. In addition to close readings, students analyzed objects and situations in the world around them, identified problems, created evidence-based solutions, and ultimately became inventors themselves. They are pictured working on the challenge of cleaning up the office space which has too much garbage and must invent an apparatus to get garbage from the desk to a garbage can two feet away, without tossing it.
Mrs. Kroese's problem-solving class has been studying plastic. They learned that milk can actually be used to create plastic. In their lab, they tested different amounts of vinegar and then weighed the amount of casein they were able to extract from the milk. They will use their results to graph their information and then re-do the lab using the amount of vinegar they feel will work best to create their own plastic creations.
Friday, February 7th from 7:45-8:20 join the Middle School as we celebrate all the important Dudes in our students' lives. Be it Dad, Grandpa, Uncle, Big Brother, Coach, Neighbor, or even Mom/Grandma.
We are so very thankful for these "dudes" in our students' lives and we want to celebrate them. The event will be in the Middle School Lunchroom. Come for coffee, donuts, and laughter.
Because of the partnership between Lindsey Kleinhesselink, O'Brien Conservationist, and HMS Schools, middle school students have the opportunity to learn a variety of skill sets, preparing them for their future!
Mrs. Johannsen's students are great leaders!
Ms. Letien finds fun ways for students to practice their math skills.
Mrs. Hoaglund's 8th grade ELA students are working hard!
Here are the activities for the upcoming week. Make it a great one, Hawks!
