The Exciting Adventures of Flat Stanley
Stanley Lambchop is a fictional character that gets flattened by a bulletin board in his bedroom. He becomes the famous Flat Stanley who seeks out adventure where ever he goes. Hay Springs Second Grade made their own personal Flat Stanley and sent them across the country and even the WORLD! We have already gotten a few Flat Stanleys returned back to Hay Springs with souvenirs and photos for us to learn about new geographical places and cultures. It has been an exciting time in second grade learning about the adventures as well as waiting to see who’s Flat Stanley will come back next!
Reinforcing Auditorium Expectations
Speech students reinforced the auditorium expectations today. Elementary students had to clean up their space and lift up their seats while other students cheered them on.
Measuring Kindergartners
Kindergarten started a unit on measurement. We started by measuring with blocks then moved on to rulers.
Reading Dr. Seuss
Hay Springs Elementary 1st graders went to visit the 4th grade class to read books to them to celebrate Dr. Seuss day! Held annually on March 2nd, Dr. Seuss Day is a holiday that celebrates the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel – otherwise known by the pen name by which he authored children’s books: Dr. Seuss. During the 1990s, the National Education Association advocated for a day to celebrate reading all over the United States. In 1998, it started Read Across America and decided to hold it on the same day as Dr. Seuss’ birthday.
First Graders in Hats
First grade did an Author Study on Dr. Seuss this past week to celebrate Read Across America and Dr. Seuss’s Birthday (March 2nd). They read many Dr. Seuss books, studied his biography, and shared their favorite Dr. Seuss books with friends. We ended the week with a room full of Cats in Hats!
Family Movie Night…Again!
Please join us for the second Family Movie Night of the year! It will be held in the auditorium on Thursday, March 14th, 2019. The movie will begin at 6:00 PM, so be sure to get here a little early to get a good seat! We will be showing Smallfoot, which is rated PG.
Synopsis: An animated adventure for all ages, with original music and an all-star cast, Smallfoot turns the Bigfoot legend upside down when a bright young Yeti finds something he though didn’t exist – a human. News of this “smallfoot” throws the simple Yeti community into an uproar over what else might be out there in the big world beyond their snowy village, in an all new story about friendship, courage, and the joy of discovery.
Trout In The Classroom
The fifth grade class is participating in the Trout in the Classroom (TIC) program. This is a hands-on educational program in which students:
- raise trout from eggs to fry
- monitor tank water quality
- engage in stream habitat study
- learn to appreciate water resources
- begin to foster a conservation ethic
- grow to understand ecosystems
We received our trout eggs on January 17th and have enjoyed watching them grow and change from eggs to alevin and to fry.
