What did the owl eat? That’s the question FES 5th grade Science students are working to answer as they begin dissecting owl pellets! Students are taking a closer look at what owls leave behind to uncover clues about their diet. It’s a hands-on science investigation full of discovery! #fes #EaglesSoar

FES showed its Eagle pride today to end Homecoming Week! Students and staff enjoyed dressing in maroon and gold and watching the Homecoming parade. Our kindergarten friends got an extra special treat by getting to ride in a bus in the parade! What a fun way to be part of the excitement!

Fennimore High School Soil Team members visited 5th grade Science classes to share their knowledge about soil. These juniors did an outstanding job explaining different soil types and answering students’ questions. The 5th graders even got to touch and feel different types of soil to explore their unique characteristics!
This lesson connected to an investigation the students started earlier this year when a few 5th graders “planted” pairs of underwear in soil around Fennimore. In the spring, they’ll dig them up to see how the soil has affected them!
Who knows? There may be some future FFA members and Soil Team experts in the making! #fes #EaglesSoar

Fifth grade science students have been investigating what plants need to thrive and grow using green onions. Through a variety of hands-on investigations, students observed how different conditions affected their plants and used their findings to determine what plants need to survive and grow. What a great example of science in action—and learning by doing! #fes #EaglesSoar

This week's Class of the Week is Mrs. Melcher's 2nd Grade Class. In Reading, they have been reviewing letter patterns and their different sounds. They have also been working hard on using their text evidence to answer questions from various stories, like The Cat Bandit. In Math, they are learning Even/Odd Numbers & Arrays, which they are doing an amazing job on! Finally, in Science, they read the story Water Princess and learned about how some children have to walk miles each day to collect dirty water. Soon, they will be working in groups to create their own water filters. What fun! Nice job 2nd graders! #fes #EaglesSoar
