The fifth graders had a beautiful Fall day for their recent field trip to Villa Louis in Prairie du Chien. While touring the mansion, built in the late 1800s, they learned about the Dousman family and how they lived during that period. The students also explored the layers of history on Feriole Island through a scavenger hunt adventure at the museum. After a picnic lunch by the Mississippi River, they traveled to Pike's Peak in McGregor, Iowa, where they took in the stunning views of the mighty Mississippi. To wrap up the day, they hiked to Bridal Veil Falls. The students not only learned about Prairie du Chien’s rich history but also made lasting memories with friends. #fes #EaglesSoar
This week's Class of the Week is Ms. Kauffman's 1st Grade Class. This class has been very busy at Fennimore Elementary. In CKLA Skills, the students are learning about digraphs and long vowels. They have applied their knowledge of digraphs and long vowels into their reading and writing as well! With it being Autumn, the students have enjoyed writing about apples and pumpkins. In Math, these first graders have been working on addition and subtraction strategies to 20. Some of their favorite strategies include doubles, near doubles, making ten, and using a part-part-whole chart. Each day these first graders impress their teacher with their hard work. Ms. Kauffman looks forward to seeing their progress throughout the school year. Way to go, first graders! #fes #EaglesSoar

October is Fire Safety Prevention Month and Kindergarten, second and fourth grade students all got a chance for some hands-on learning at the Fennimore Fire Station. A huge thank you to the volunteer firefighters who took the time out of their busy schedules to help our students learn about fire safety, the equipment, and all that they do! #fes #EaglesSoar

The fifth grade class had a great day of fun in the sun on their Bethel Horizons field trip last week. The students enjoyed many team building experiences that included a long walk into and out of the woods, zip lining, a giant swing, and other activities in the woods. They couldn't have had a better day and did a great job supporting each other. #EaglesSoar #fes

The Kindergarten classes recently enjoyed their Fall field trip to Vesperman Farms. They enjoyed an unusually warm fall afternoon at the farm filled with tractor rides to the pumpkin patch, feeding goats in the animal barn, and testing their brains in the mini corn maze. They had an awesome trip as always! They want to thank Vesperman Farms for opening their doors to student tours and the chaperones that joined them. Happy Fall Everyone! #fes #EaglesSoar

This week's Class of the Week is Mrs. Kartman's First Grade Class. They have been working so hard in room 16! They just finished up learning about short vowel sounds and digraphs. They have been reading lots of stories and learning about places to visit in the UK. In math, they have been learning about addition strategies to 20. They have also been practicing their doubles facts. In CKLA Knowledge, they have been learning about the human body. They have learned about the skeletal system, muscular system, digestive system, circulatory system, and nervous system. They have had a lot of fun learning what each system's job is. The students were surprised to learn that the human body has 206 bones and over 600 muscles! Their teacher is excited to see how much more they will learn throughout the year! Keep up the great work 1st graders!
Don't forget about early release tomorrow, Thursday, October 17th. #fcs #EaglesSoar
