FES students got a chance to get into the Homecoming spirit today! Kindergarten students got a special visit from Eagle football players, cheerleaders and even our friendly Eagle mascot - Screech! Kindergarten students also got the chance to ride a bus through the homecoming parade. All the other elementary students enjoyed watching the parade with their class and teachers. Go Eagles! #fes #EaglesSoar https://fcs.smugmug.com/2023-24-School-Year/Fennimore-Elementary-School-2023-24/Activities-Elementary-School-2023-24/HOCO-Parade

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

Fennimore School District would like to welcome Taylor Rosemeyer to our staff as we start the 2023-24 school year. Mrs. Rosemeyer comes to us from the Cassville School District where she was the Director of Special Education. Let’s get to know Mrs. Rosemeyer! Coach Rosemeyer is my husband and we have a 2-year-old-son, Tyrion, and three crazy dogs! My favorite thing about teaching is getting to explore what the students are good at. We have so many talented students and I love to see them shine! What hobbies do you have outside of school? Outside of school I like to spend time with my family and friends. I love being outside in the fall and cheering on the Fennimore Golden Eagles football team! What other extracurricular activities are you involved with at school? Any community organizations? I am a member of the Fennimore Grid-Iron Association and I spend a lot of time taking care of my son. I hope to become more involved in the community this year. What's something you want students to know about you that they might surprise them? I LOVE superhero movies, TV shows and comic books. If you ever want to talk about Marvel characters I am always available.

This week's Class of the Week is Ms. Schwingle’s 2nd Grade Class. Ms. Schwingle's students are off to a great start! For the first two weeks of school, the students have been going through mini “boot camps” for Reading and Math. In these “boot camps” they learn and practice the daily routines for the school day! In Reading, they are reviewing their short vowel sounds and reading fantasy or fiction stories. In Math, they are practicing many strategies for addition, with using doubles facts, making a ten, and counting on being some of those strategies. Ms. Schwingle can tell this is going to be an awesome year with this 2nd grade class! Keep up the great work 2nd graders! #EaglesSoar #fes
