Fifth graders met with inspiring author Alane Adams over zoom this morning. Along with answering student questions, she talked to them about developing daily habits for writing and the important first step of using your creative brain to just get your ideas down. She also discussed how to create memorable connections to hook the reader from the first page. Her excitement and passion for writing was evident and very contagious!
The students watched her "Into the Book" video series before the visit and all of her books can be found in the school library. A special thanks to Mrs. Ahnen and the fifth grade teachers for providing this great opportunity for our students! Visit https://alaneadams.com/ to learn more about her and her books! #fes #EaglesSoar

Mrs. Bunn's first grade students were busy before Thanksgiving! They read the book Turkey Trouble and then they each disguised their own turkey to help it avoid being eaten on Thanksgiving. They also did some writing activities where they described their turkeys and wrote about them. #EaglesSoar #fes
2nd graders recently learned about the history of Thanksgiving, including how the Native Americans helped teach the Pilgrims to hunt, fish, and plant crops. They used chocolate pudding (soil), candy corn (corn seeds), Swedish Fish (fertilizer), and crushed up Oreos (dirt) to recreate how they planted corn. The children learned that the Native Americans put fish in with their seeds to help fertilize the corn with nutrients. What a fun and yummy learning activity #EaglesSoar

This week's Class of the Week is Mrs. Streeter's First Grade Class. November has been a very busy month for Mrs. Streeter's 1st graders. They have been reading lots of books and writing their own stories. They have also been learning different strategies to help them become more fluent with their addition and subtraction facts. Playing outside in the freshly fallen snow has been quite a hit and they look forward to building more snowmen and snow forts. With the upcoming holidays approaching, they are all very thankful for their families, friends, and the many blessings in their lives. Keep up the great work 1st graders! #EaglesSoar
