Third grade classes got the chance to visit Folklore Village last week. While there, the students were able to learn, celebrate, and experience ethnic and traditional folklife. They made wool into felt balls, played games in a one-room schoolhouse and learned different dances. The students enjoyed the hands-on activities and seeing the history and traditions come to life! #EaglesSoar #fes

Kindergarten students visited Vesperman Farms last week before the rainy weather set in. The students had a beautiful day to enjoy all the fun activities. Some of their favorites were feeding the goats and petting other animals, exploring the mini corn maze, zipping down the zip line, taking a wagon ride, and picking a pumpkin. #EaglesSoar #fes

The Fennimore FFA is proud to announce its eighth-annual "Scare-Away-Hunger" food drive, taking place on Tuesday, October 31st from 4-7:30 pm. They will be offering two options for picking up donations this year. FFA members will visit any house with lights on and without a box or bag. They ask that all items be pre-bagged or placed in the bag they will provide. They will also be doing curbside pickups so items can be placed by the curb. Items will be donated to the Depot Exchange Food Pantry and Southwest Tech Charger Cupboard.

This week's Class of the Week is Mrs. Schoenberg's 3rd Grade Class. Mrs. Schoenberg’s Class has been working very hard in reading. They have been identifying the cause and effect in a story and how to use text evidence to support their answers. In math the third graders have been working on learning their multiplication facts. They got to be distributive doctors and took apart different multiplication equations. In science they have been working on animal life cycles and in social studies they have been learning about maps. This class has gone above and beyond Mrs. Schoenberg’s expectations. They are a joy to have this school year and she looks forward to seeing them learn something new everyday! Keep up the great work 3rd graders! #EaglesSoar #fes

This week is National School Lunch week! The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) serves nearly 30 million children every school day. President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week (NSLW) in 1962 to promote the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life and the impact it has inside and outside of the classroom. A special thanks to our Fennimore School District lunch heroes who make sure our students are served great meals every day! #fcs #EaglesSoar #NSLW23

Last week, the 5th grade students got the opportunity to go on a field trip to Bethel Horizons to work on team building. The students worked together and built trust in one another during the Low Ropes challenge activities. The Zip Line and Big Swing challenges helped students face their fears while also giving them the chance to encourage and support one another. Throughout the day, the students learned that if they respected each other, included each other, supported one another and empathized with each other that they could RISE above any challenge! It was a fun and exciting day that many of these fifth graders will never forget! #EaglesSoar #fes For more pictures visit https://fcs.smugmug.com/2023-24-School-Year/Fennimore-Elementary-School-2023-24/5th-Grade-2023-24/Bethel-Horizons

This week's Class of the Week is Ms. Govier's 5K Class. They have been busy in room 8! There is so much to learn and explore as they start the year. Ms. Govier's kindergarten crew has been working hard learning letter sounds in Jolly Phonics. They've brainstormed words they can read and write using the sounds they know. If you know someone in this class, ask them to build a few words for you! They have also been working on reviewing numbers 0-5 in Math and colors during their Unit time. These kindergarten friends are hard workers and Ms. Govier is excited for their year together! Keep up the great work 5K friends! #fes #EaglesSoar

Apples have been the focus in 2nd Grade Science. Students have been learning about the life cycles of the apple tree and the different parts of the apples. Ms. Schwingle's 2nd graders dove into the question presented in Mystery Science, "Why are some apples red and some green?" They learned that the first apples were probably very small and sour (crab apples). As the years evolved, farmers and apple lovers continually looked for a way to make the biggest, the sweetest, the most sour, the roundest, etc. This process is called selection, choosing the seeds from one apple tree that may have the characteristics of the apple desired. The color of the apple may be an indicator for us when choosing apples to eat as to their sweetness or sourness. The students then did an apple experiment, taste testing four varieties of apples - Granny Smith, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, and Honeycrisp. They tasted each, one at a time, recording the colors and the degree of sourness or sweetness, then choosing the one variety that was their favorite! This sure was some "sweet" science! #fes #EaglesSoar For more pics visit https://fcs.smugmug.com/2023-24-School-Year/Fennimore-Elementary-School-2023-24/2nd-Grade-2023-24/Apple-Tasting
