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!
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.

This week students at Hay Springs School will be participating in the Hour of Code. Hour of Code is held each year to increase awareness and participation in computer science, especially to girls and underrepresented minorities.
It is always during the week including December 9th in honor of Grace Hopper’s birthday. Hopper was one of the pioneer computer programmers. She served in the Navy and retired as a Rear Admiral. She is sometimes called “Amazing Grace” because of her accomplishments and Naval rank. A Navy guided-missile destroyer was named after her.
Hour of Code began in 2013 by Hadi and Ali Partovi. Hour of Code has spread to include 25 countries, 40 U. S. states and almost 200 U.S. cities and school districts. This includes Hay Springs which has been participating since 2013. Over 500 million students worldwide have participated in the program. To learn more about Hour of Code check this link. There are over 100 activities on their site from one hour introductory tutorials to full courses.
Kindergarten went back to the past when they traveled to the Hay Springs museum. They liked seeing the old Hay Springs uniforms and how school was long ago. Thank you to Dave Perkins for being such as great tour guide.
The 4th grade is learning about sound waves through experiments. Have a look at what they have been up to!
