4th graders ended their Native American unit with a creative challenge—building detailed dioramas! Each individual or group chose a Native American tribe from Wisconsin and researched its traditions, homes, and daily life. Then they brought their learning to life by creating detailed dioramas that included the specific shelters their tribes used. So much creativity and hands-on learning on display! #fes #EaglesSoar

This week's Class of the Week is Mrs. Melcher's 2nd Grade Class. They have been working hard on using their text evidence to answer questions from various stories, like Kids Excel. They are wrapping up learning 2-digit addition, which they did an amazing job on! This week, they started 2-digit subtraction. In Science, they are learning all about the history of Thanksgiving and will be finishing the week with a fun Mayflower challenge. Nice job 2nd graders! #fes #EaglesSoar

Newton’s Laws took flight in Mr. Carl’s Physics class, literally! This time, students launched balloon rockets down the track. The big question: Does adding mass (like pencils) change how fast the balloon accelerates or how much force it needs to take off? Let the experiments begin!

The 5th grade students recently took a field trip to UW-Platteville where they participated in a presentation on juggling and how math is present in their everyday life. Students practiced recognizing patterns and how that can help solve problems. They even had the opportunity to work together to solve different puzzles presented by the UWP Math Department. After the presentation, students were given a mini tour of the campus that ended in the Huff Family Innovation Center where they were able to see how students used 3D printers, among other very neat machines, to complete different projects.

Do you use home row when you type? Because our 5th graders do! They put their keyboarding skills to the test in a Fortune Cookie Race, teaming up to type out their fortunes as fast (and accurately!) as they could. Great teamwork and typing practice all in one! #fes #EaglesSoar
