Third grade students have been learning about animal classification in reading, focusing on the five groups of vertebrates: mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish, and birds.

To wrap up the unit, students visited the Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison! They had the chance to see many of the animals they’ve been studying and make real-world connections to their learning. #fes #EaglesSoar

Fifth grade science students kicked off their next unit with a fun Predator and Prey game! Students took on the roles of predators and prey and experienced firsthand how challenging it can be to find enough food to survive.

Only about half of the students were able to eat enough to survive! The activity was a fun way to introduce how organisms depend on each other and how food availability can affect populations. #fes #EaglesSoar

The STEM Shuttle rolled into town last week, bringing some exciting hands-on learning to our 4th grade students!

Students took part in engaging activities focused on constellations, the importance of protecting our ozone layer, robotics, magnetism and gravity, and engineering. They had the chance to explore, experiment, and think like scientists and engineers.

What a fun way to bring STEM concepts to life! #fes EaglesSoar

Be kind. Be respectful. Be an upstander.

Stripes for Shane 🤍

If you know Mr. Shane Kieler, you know the striped shirt has long been his signature look for school picture day. Today, Fennimore staff followed Highland Community Schools’ lead and wore our own stripes in support of Shane as he enters another round of radiation in his courageous battle against cancer.

Many of our staff members were missing from the photo, but the love and support for Shane is strong throughout all of FCS. We’re with you, Mr. Kieler. Keep fighting.
