The 6th grade careers and tech class has been busy planning and creating rotation stations for the first grade class. The 6th graders led the 1st graders through a series of activities including a scavenger hunt, minute to win it challenges, stories, and much more! The celebration concluded with homemade cupcakes made by the 6th grade class.
Today we had a special guest. Ava and her sisters and mom shared a story with our class about how we are the same and different. We talked about how we like to do many of the same things as Ava! We also learned how she communicates with her eyes and how she is learning to communicate with a device as well! Many of our staff and students wore blue today for Angelman Syndrome Awareness day today. Thank you Stock family for sharing with us!
Our trout in 5th grade are quickly growing. Most of them are swimming now. They are still contained in the feeding basket as they are now learning to eat. Once they are eating, we will release them into the tank. Towards the end of the video, there are a couple of trout that seem to be curved and swim in tight circles. These trout were born with a deformity. We usually have a couple in each hatch. I have found that these trout rarely survive.
The Hay Springs Public School PK-5th grades enjoyed a Ground Hog Day celebration this morning…or rather a “Hound Dog Day” celebration…with a special visitor! After learning about the weather outlook for the next 6 weeks, the kids had some yummy treats before returning to their room. A huge thank you to Mrs. Weyers for organizing this warm and wonderful event on such a cold day!
Third through fifth grade students who were drawn from quarter 2 Hawk Bucks participated in the breakfast of champions on Wednesday, January 13th. High school students who were nominated for student of the month in quarter 2 were also invited to participate. Students had donuts and orange juice and then were invited to play games with their guests.
Drawn Kindergarten-2nd grade and 6th-8th grade students went to the 2nd quarter Breakfast of Champions on Wednesday, January 11th. Students were drawn out of the 2nd quarter Hawk Bucks recipients. Students receive Hawk Bucks for exhibiting positive behavior at school. When selected, students are welcome to bring an adult to the breakfast where they have donuts, orange juice, and get the chance to play games! The breakfast of champions is sponsored by PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports)
Inspired by Elizabeth Magie, the inventor of Monopoly, kindergarten designed their own game boards. 2nd grade came over to play with us. There was lots of twirling, jumping jacks, and crawling like a caterpillar when you landed on a sticker.
The Third Grade classroom is excited to announce that Willow Frink received a certificate for third place in the local Upper Niobrara White Natural Resources District’s 2021 Local Poster Contest. This year’s theme was titled “Healthy Forests Healthy Communities”. Congratulations Willow!
Kindergarten spent some time at the museum learning about things of the past. Their favorite items included baby strollers, rusty keys, fire truck, dentures, and the school out house!
