Jimmy Strand from the I.U.5 was in Mrs. Smith's Kindergarten class showing our Kindergarteners how to use a new math tool called a Rekenrek. A Rekenrek is an arithmetic frame designed to help students visualize addition and subtraction strategies. Students focus their learning on groups of 5 or groups of 10 up to 100. Students love using with new tools that offer them different ways to learn!

Art students paint brushes, paint strips, and a zentangle design for their artwork. Ironically they didn't use paint for this project at all! They used chalk pastels, sharpie markers, cardboard, yarn, and metal. The collage of materials and mediums made for a unique artwork!
In gym last week, the students did an activity called "Pace Maker." Pace Maker is set up as a race that works on their coordination skills, and how to pace themselves during physical activity.

Students in Mr. Gebauer's 6th grade Social Studies simulated the experiences of the 13 colonies under the Articles of Confederation, which was the first form of government in the United States. Students were able to understand the weaknesses of this government as well as learn of the struggles of colonists during this time and how the Articles of Confederation led to the creation of the Constitution.
The gifted students had an opportunity to check out the "chill room" at FHS with Mrs. Enterline and Evie, her therapy dog. The students enjoyed checking out the space and giving Evie some treats. The chill room is a place that students have the opportunity to utilize if they feel the need for a break if they are feeling overwhelmed. Our students really enjoyed the visit and even expressed how they'd like to visit again!
In Character Strong, fourth graders were talking about courage. Their challenge was to make a contraption that would keep an egg safe from a small drop. They were encouraged to have courage by making their ideas heard to the whole group.
