Fennimore Elementary students are excited about the book fair taking place in our school this week!
Officer French has been visiting fifth grade science classes recently. During this time, he works with students on CounterAct (to resist or oppose) activities. The CounterAct program is meant to give students specific skills they can use to resist alcohol, other drugs, and violence.
Recently during a CounterAct lesson, students got a chance to try on the alcohol and drug goggles. This educational tool gives students an understanding of the real-life risks of alcohol impairment in a safe manner. In this activity, one student put on the alcohol glasses and tried to pick up a ball that was placed on a traffic cone. That student then had to throw it to another student that had the drug goggles on. The other student had to try and catch the ball and then walk the ball back to put on top of the traffic cone. This activity really made students aware of the impact drugs and alcohol can have on their cognitive and motor skills. #EaglesSoar
This week's Class of the Week is Ms. Nalepinski's Tues/Thurs 4K Class. These 4K students had fun recently with the color orange, white and Halloween. They learned about the letters Vv and Xx and have been working hard on their cutting and coloring skills. There sure were a lot of white ghosts hanging around their room before Halloween! Using their imaginations, they also had fun creating monsters in closets after sharing the story, "There's A Nightmare In My Closet". If you dare, go ahead and try to open those closet doors they made hanging in the hall. They sure hope you don't get scared! Keep up the great work 4K students. #EaglesSoar

This year on Halloween night the FFA held their annual Scare Away Hunger food drive. During trick or treating hours, members went from house to house asking for nonperishable food items. Overall they ended up with 1,157 pounds that was donated to the local food pantry. The Fennimore FFA would like to give a big thank you to everyone who donated!
Fennimore's 2nd graders have been learning about different animal groups and the characteristics of each group. They focused on mainly animals with backbones (vertebrates). Each student picked out an animal that he or she wanted to research more. The kids chose facts to put on their animal posters with pictures and any other details to make their poster inviting and interesting to read. Each 2nd grader presented his or her poster to the class sharing facts he or she found interesting about their animal. Great job, 2nd graders!
Don't forget - MS/HS Picture Retakes are Monday, Nov 7th from 8:00- 9:00am! Don't wear green clothing!

This week's Class of the Week is Mrs. Neisius' Fifth Grade Class. They have been very busy! They have just started reading their first trade book in reading and continue to work on their phonics. In science they are charting the moon, and learning how to use a dichotomous key to classify shells and beans. They are also working on a lab to see if the positioning of a bean makes a difference on how the beans roots and stem will grow. In this class picture, Mrs. Neisius' students are observing the Red Ribbon Week pajama day and "following their dreams instead of doing drugs." Keep up the great work 5th graders! #EaglesSoar #fes
