Fennimore Community Schools

The fourth-grade students recently visited Stonefield Historic Site. During the trip, students learned about life in the early 1900s and explored many parts of Wisconsin history, including the agriculture museum, a farmhouse, a one-room schoolhouse, and the creamery. At the creamery, students learned how farmers brought their milk to be processed. They saw the machines used to separate the milk from the fat and even made butter.

In the agriculture museum, students learned about harvesting wild rice, cranberries, and dairy products. They also learned about the Babcock machine, which tests milk for fat content. The dioramas and farm equipment helped students understand how farming practices and technology have changed over time.

The fourth graders also attended a lesson in a one-room schoolhouse. Students learned that the Pledge of Allegiance has changed over time. Girls sat on one side of the room while boys sat on the other. Students practiced geography, math, and reading skills, and they even took a spelling test.

The fourth graders had a wonderful time learning about Wisconsin history during their field trip to Stonefield Village. #fes #EaglesSoar

Our 5th grade science classes put their learning into action!

Students used their knowledge of gravity and air resistance to design and build parachutes that helped a diver safely land on a target. They created multiple prototypes, made improvements, and tested their designs along the way. It was hands-on learning, problem-solving, and creativity in action! #fes #EagleSoar

Our Fennimore 5th graders had a great day last week exploring history and nature! Their adventure began at the Villa Louis Historic Site and the Fur Trade Museum, where students learned more about Wisconsin’s early history and what life was like during the fur trade era. The group then traveled to Pikes Peak State Park, where they enjoyed the beautiful views of the Mississippi River and took a scenic hike down to Bridal Veil Falls. It was a fun day filled with learning, exploration, and memories with classmates! #fes #EaglesSoar
