First grade explored spiders this week. We compared fiction and non-fiction reading selections about spiders, wrote spider Haikus, learned about different types of spiders and even made our own running/jumping spiders.
Fifth graders recently learned why and how our ancestors divided the day into 24 hours and how to use a sun dial to tell the time of day. We first used flashlights in the classroom to understand how the position of the light affects the time shown on the clock. Then we took them outside to see how the position of the Sun could tell them the time of day. They were pretty amazed at their accuracy.
Kindergarten got the opportunity to pick pumpkins and gourds October 1st. This week we weighted and measured the circumference of each gourd. Here are the graphs we made with the results.
Here are some photos of our little “Hawklets”(to quote Mr. Bounous) proudly displaying their school spirit by dressing up last Thursday for Hat and Jersey day!
Wednesday was Disney Day at Hay Springs Public School! Check out these 1st and 2nd graders dressed up as their favorite Disney characters.
The elementary students took a trip to the Hay Springs Volunteer Fire Department Wednesday morning. Volunteer firefighters, Craig Housh and Matt Anderson, gave a tour of the fire hall along with the trucks and equipment they use in emergencies. They also stressed the importance of everyone knowing their family’s fire escape plan. Please practice this and make sure everyone knows where to meet It is also important to have working smoke detectors and possibly even a fire extinguisher in your home. Thank you to NWPPD for granting Matt and Craig the time to make this happen.
Today was “Decade Day” during homecoming week and our elementary represented the 1950’s! Can you spot the Pink Ladies? Maybe some T-Birds?
