Dot Day 2018
Dot Day is September 15th-ish. Officially it is the 15th, but if you can’t do it on that day, you do it when you can. We are reading The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds and creating different dot projects. The Dot is the story of a girl who thinks she can’t draw, but an understanding art teacher gives her the courage and creativity to draw numerous dots. She passes this message on to a small boy who says “I can’t even draw a straight line with a ruler.” Click on Dot Day to see the students’ work. Different projects will be added all week so continue to check in.
Building Bridges
The Hay Springs Elementary fourth grade class has been busy working on engineering to make safe bridges. Take a look at the pictures below!
Kindergarten Cartographers
Kindergarten made a map of Hay Springs and then went for a walk to the grocery store to see if the map worked! We made it down and back and our map was right!
Flag Etiquette
Today the 5th graders welcomed Lieutenant Mullis to their class to talk to them about flag etiquette. After he gave us a brief history of the flag and its symbols, he showed us the correct way to fold the American Flag. We were very honored to have him as our guest.
Elementary Theatrics
-Have a good laugh and watch the third graders perform their Fabulously Funny Idiom Plays Wednesday, May 16th, at 4:30 in the pit area of the cafeteria. Open to the public.
-Fifth grade will be presenting a reader’s theater next Wednesday, May 23rd, at about 10:30 in the pit if your class would like to watch. Should last about 20 minutes I’m guessing.
5th Grade Solar Energy Experiment — Community Feedback
The fifth graders have been investigating solar energy. Today, we conducted an experiment to learn which earth materials, dry soil, wet soil, water, or rocks, collect and store solar energy most efficiently. We first placed each cup of material in the sun for 20 minutes, then moved the cups to a shady area where we recorded the temperature every 3 minutes for 21 minutes. So…which material do you think collected and stored the most solar energy? And which material lost the most solar energy? Leave your guesses in the comments!
