Mrs. Greenlee's 4th grade class read a story about all the inventions of Benjamin Franklin. Not only did they learn that he invented many, many things, he also had failures, but never gave up!
To begin, the fourth graders were asked about their favorite toy, game or object and to think of something about it they wanted to improve. After identifying the enhancement or new object, kids researched their idea. After planning and drawing their product they made a model. One criteria was that the model must be built using recycled materials. The kids were very creative both in their ideas and their models.
Inventions included portable basketball hoops, phones that can't get lost and are easy to hear from, basketballs for a variety of practice scenarios, a laser that helped clarify fouls and out of bounds, softest stuffed animals, a flying bike, enhanced balance beam, specialty ATV's and safety accessories to motorbikes and many others. These young inventions are our future problem solvers! Great job 4th graders! #EaglesSoar #fes

Fennimore High School Band has some exciting news!
Meghan Trader, an alto saxophone player and junior at Fennimore High School, was accepted into this year's WSMA State Honors Band. The WSMA State Honors Project is nationally recognized as one of the finest opportunities for young people and was established in 1967. This honors band is comprised of the most skilled high school students from Wisconsin. To qualify for a seat, Meghan auditioned in February. The audition consisted of memorized scales, an etude, an excerpt from her class A solo and sight reading (reading new music on the spot). In 2021, 37 alto saxophone players auditioned to gain 1 of 4 seats in the honor band. This year, 48 alto saxophones auditioned for the band slots.
As a member of the WSMA State Honors Band, Trader will be attending an intensive summer band camp at UW-Green Bay and will perform at the Music Educator Convention in Madison on October 26 at 4:30 PM.
The list of prior Fennimore students who have participated in the WSMA Honors Project is short. Our first performer was in 1981, Mark Anderson, who was a tenor in the High School Honors Mixed Choir. The only other performer was in 2004, Aric Waldman, a tenor in the Middle Level Honors Choir. Trader is the first student from Fennimore High School to be accepted into the WSMA State Honors Band.
Congratulations Meghan!! #EaglesSoar

As our younger students start to navigate the world of technology it is important that we teach them about safety and balance online. Recently, Mrs. Droessler talked with all Kindergarten and 1st grade classes about strategies for using technology in a healthy and safe way including balancing screen time, strategies for transitioning with and without technology, and some basic tips for staying safe online. These young students enjoyed meeting a new digital citizen character called Arms and were great listeners! #digitalsafety #balancedscreenuse
Do you find it hard to get up and speak in front of a large group? Well, our 2nd grade students did just that and nailed it! 2nd grade classes held a poetry contest last week and each student recited a poem they memorized. They all overcame their nerves and did a great job! What a great learning experience! #fes #EaglesSoar
Good luck today to our students competing today in El Reno, Oklahoma for the National Soils Competition! There are 500 students competing from all 50 states! Make Fennimore proud! #EaglesSoar
Exciting news from our 2nd grade classrooms! 🐣 They had some new arrivals this week as their baby chicks hatched! The students were over the moon with excitement watching these little fluff balls break through their shells and enter the world. These little cuties stole their hearts right away and it will be hard to say good bye to them tomorrow when they head to their new home on the farm. What a learning experience for these 2nd grade students with memories that will last a lifetime! A special thank you to Farmer Linneman for bringing in the eggs and providing this learning opportunity for our students! #fes #EaglesSoar

3rd grade students recently finished up a biography unit. Reading biographies can help students learn critical thinking, empathy, respect, problem solving as well as how to see things from various different perspectives. Students enjoyed reading and learning about their famous person. They shared what they learned by writing an essay and creating a bottle buddy model of their famous person. Great work 3rd graders!
