Our FES 5th graders had a fun and educational adventure earlier this week at the Rollo Jamison and Mining Museum in Platteville! From exploring fascinating historic artifacts to heading underground into a real lead mine, students experienced hands-on history like never before. After the tour, they enjoyed a picnic lunch and playtime at Platteville’s Inclusive Park, followed by a hike up the iconic “M”—a true Wisconsin tradition! Thanks to all the teachers, museum staff, parent chaperones, and bus drivers who made this day such a success! #EaglesSoar For more pictures please visit https://fcs.smugmug.com/2024-25-School-Year/Fennimore-Elementary-School-2024-25/5th-Grade-2024-25/Mining-Museum

Mrs. Peterson's class continued their end of year countdown by making slime! It was awfully messy, but awfully fun, too! They also popped their balloon for tomorrow and found out they get to take a virtual field trip to a zoo! It's been a fun week in 5K! #fes #EaglesSoar

5K had a blast soaking up the sun yesterday! They enjoyed the warm weather with some fun outdoor activities — blowing big bubbles and creating colorful sidewalk chalk masterpieces. What a wonderful way to celebrate a warm spring day! #fes #EaglesSoar

We wrapped up our final PBIS Student-Teacher Challenge of the 2025 school year with a wildly fun showdown at this morning’s assembly! Teachers suited up in garbage bags, balancing plates of whipped cream on their heads, while students launched pom-poms hoping for the perfect splat! And the champs? The Kindergarten duo—Mrs. Peterson and Hudson—took the win! Way to finish the year with fun and fluff! #fes #EaglesSoar

Earlier this month on a beautiful spring day, 4th grade classes joined the Fennimore FFA group for an exciting field trip that explored the journey of food from farm to table. They began at Winch's Dairy Farm, learning about the milking process . Next, they learned about and planted a tomato plant at Sugar and Spice and discovered how different animal feeds are made at Reddy Ag. Their visit to Bender's Food showed how food is processed and packaged, while Udder Brothers delighted the students with samples of local dairy products. This wonderful experience deepened student's appreciation for local farmers and the vital role they play in providing food for our community. #fes #EaglesSoar

To wrap up their space unit, third grade students took part in a series of fun, hands-on STEM projects. They built a scale model to show the distances between planets and the Sun, launched “space rocks” with catapults, designed safe landings for “aliens,” and created models to show how the Earth, Sun, and Moon move. These projects were a blast and helped students explore big ideas in an out-of-this-world way! #fes #EaglesSoar For more pictures, please visit https://fcs.smugmug.com/2024-25-School-Year/Fennimore-Elementary-School-2024-25/3rd-Grade-2024-25/Space-Unit

First grade to the rescue! Armed with bags and big smiles, these young students turned their Earth Day walk into a trash-fighting mission! Way to go first graders! #EarthDay #fes #EaglesSoar

The Kindergarten classes recently took their spring field trip to Grant Regional Health Center. Each class had the opportunity to tour the hospital and participate in a skills lab where they got to try out many of the things nurses and doctors use every day! A few favorites from the trip include seeing a brand new baby in the nursery, going on the roof to see the helipad, and getting to try out a hospital bed. The classes would like to thank Grant Regional and their employees and volunteers for making their fun afternoon possible! #fes #EaglesSoar For more pictures please visit https://fcs.smugmug.com/2024-25-School-Year/Fennimore-Elementary-School-2024-25/Kindergarten-2024-25/Hospital
