3rd Graders visited Folklore Village by Dodgeville last Friday. During their trip they learned about how folklore is passed from generation to generation. They also learned about where wool comes from, its many uses, and what is made from it. All students got to make a ball from wool by forming it into felt. The visit to the one-room school house was interesting and the students enjoyed playing some of the games that the children who attended school back then would have played. To end the afternoon, students were taught how to dance the waltz and a couple other dances that were popular many years ago. It was a great day of learning and playing. #EaglesSoar

Last week during unit time, Ms. Govier's 5K learned about the color brown and bears. They read stories, made a bear headband, and ended the week with a teddy bear picnic! The class enjoyed a story and milk break outside. They loved the chance to bring a bear from home! #EagleSoar
Last Friday the 2nd graders took a trip to the Kickapoo Orchards near Gays Mills. In Science, they have been learning about the apple tree life cycle, the parts of the apple, and about different varieties of apples. At the apple orchard they learned about how the apple farmers take care of their apple trees. The kids learned there is a correct way to pick an apple from the tree, so that next year's apples will be able to grow. They each got to try out that method by picking their own apples. The kids learned another technique of apple picking - buffing and shining up their apples on their "buffers" (their bellies) before the part they were anxiously waiting for - eating their apples!
Workers at the orchard treated the 2nd graders to apple cider and apple cider doughnuts. Asking the kids what their favorite part of the trip was, most said the sunflower maze!! On the way back from Gays Mills, the classes ate their lunches at the park in Boscobel and had a little play time there! It was a fantastic day all around!
Thanks to Julie and staff at the Kickapoo Apple Orchard for hosting the Fennimore 2nd graders! #EaglesSoar

This week's Class of the Week is Mrs. Timmerman's Kindergarten Class. Recently, Mrs. Timmerman's students learned about the color blue. As part of that unit they learned about the police. They were very excited to have Police Chief French come and talk to them about his job at the Fennimore Police Department. Riding the bus in the homecoming parade was also very exciting! They are working hard at learning the letters in the alphabet and the sounds that they make. In math they are practicing counting and writing numbers. Keep up the great work 5K friends!
