After the winter holidays, 2nd graders in Ms. Schwingle's class are back into the school routine. They love reading, especially on Flashlight Fridays! #fes #EaglesSoar
This week's Class of the Week is Mrs. Timmerman’s Kindergarten Class. Mrs. Timmerman's friends had a very busy December preparing for Christmas! They enjoyed creating elves that looked just like them to hang in the hall at school and they were super excited to make their Christmas gifts for their moms and dads. During reading, they have been learning the letters of the alphabet and how to write them, the sounds they make, and how to blend the sounds together to read words. Mrs. Timmerman has some great readers in the making! In math, they have been learning all about addition. Their days have been so full of learning and fun that the school year is just flying by for these 5K students! #fes #EaglesSoar
Don't forget there is an early release, tomorrow, Thursday, January 4th. #fcs #EaglesSoar

Students in Mrs. Langmeier's Fifth Grade Class enjoyed performing a play for their parents, grandparents, and also for other FES students this week. The play was called "Christmas at the OK Corral" and the good guys certainly saved the day when they rescued Santa from the bad guys just in time for Christmas. #fes #EaglesSoar

The third graders were given the challenge of building the tallest gumdrop tower. They were split into groups and were given 25 gumdrops and 40 toothpicks. They could create any design they liked and had 20 minutes to build their towers. The tallest tower was 41 centimeters tall! We saw some great engineering and teamwork. Way to go third grade! #fes #EaglesSoar
Today's assembly was extra special as there were so many things to celebrate and the first ever teacher and student challenge was held. In this challenge, one student from each grade level was chosen from all those that submitted Eagle Wings. Then that student and their homeroom teacher teamed up to compete in the challenge. Today's challenge was to see how many pom-poms they could toss and get to stick to a plate full of whip cream that was on TOP of their teacher's head. The first grade team of Klayton and Mrs. Bunn won the challenge by sticking 25 pom poms to the plate! Congrats to the first grade duo and great job by all the participants! #fes #EaglesSoar

Once again the Spanish 3 students came to the 1st grade classes at FES to teach them about different traditions in Mexico for the holiday season. The students created their own poinsettia hats, ate M&Ms to the ringing of a bell, sang Feliz Navidad, and learned about Three Kings Day! Thank you, Spanish 3 students for coming down to FES once again!

It was a great opportunity for these students to learn many valuable skills while engaging in a variety of hands on activities. Students learned strategies to help gain confidence in problem solving and also learned about the value of trusting others and themselves. #fes #EaglesSoar

This week's Class of the Week is Ms. Nalepinski's Tues/Thur 4K Class. The holidays are quickly approaching and with it comes great excitement. The 4K students have been busy little elves creating some special surprises for Mom and Dad! Keeping these a secret has certainly been a challenge for the children. They have been learning about the letter Cc and have been showing off their pre-reading skills by sharing a "My Little Cc Book" and a Cc emergent reader book with their families. The color green has also been a part of their learning. They colored and read a "Green Book" and had fun learning about and making frogs. Many of the families of these 4K students have probably seen some of them hopping into their house singing the "Five Green and Speckled Frogs" tune. The students have learned so much up to this point and continue to expand their knowledge, fine motor skills, friendships, and social skills. The 4K students and staff wish everyone a great holiday season! #fes #EaglesSoar
