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!

Good luck to our band and choir students heading to State Solo/Ensemble today! Bring home the gold!! #StateBound #EaglesSoar

Yesterday, April 27th, was Teach Children to Save Day and so it was a perfect time for the FES 5th Grade students to tour the People's State Bank. They learned some interesting facts about money, the bank, and about the importance of saving money. Thank you to the staff at People's State Bank for teaching our students about the importance of investing in their future #fes #EaglesSoar




This week's Class of the Week is Mrs. Reinke's 2nd grade! They have been very busy learning about the life cycle of a chicken. They currently have 36 eggs in the incubator and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of little chicks during the first week of May. This is always such a fun unit and the kids are excited to meet their new "classmates". Also, the class just finished wrapping up a math unit on geometry and are starting data and graphing next. In reading, the focus is finding solutions to problems in a story and using context clues to figure out unknown words. These 2nd graders will also be starting the alphabet countdown soon to count down the last 26 days of school! Keep up the great work 2nd graders! #fes #EaglesSoar

Excitement is brewing in the 2nd grade classrooms as there is only 7 more days until their chicks hatch.! Earlier in the week, the 2nd grade students candled their eggs, which means they shined a bright light through the egg. What were they looking for? They were looking for a dark streak that tells them something has started growing in the egg. They also were looking for blood vessels that bring nourishment to the baby chick. It won't be long now before lots of chirping will be heard down the 2nd grade hallway! #fes #EaglesSoar





Don't forget Early Release tomorrow, Thursday, April 27th! #EaglesSoar #fes
