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

The 2023 Fennimore Schools' Winter Concerts have been posted to our YouTube channel! You can view them all at this link: https://www.youtube.com/@FennimoreSchools/videos
There was technical difficulties during the 6th grade band video, so there is audio only for that part. Our apologies!
It's Winter Concert time! All three programs will be recorded and uploaded to our YouTube channel afterwards & will NOT be live-streamed. Tonight are the middle and high school programs and tomorrow morning will be the elem program!
Note - 5th grade starts the program, not 3rd!
Some of our 4th and 5th grade students took some time out of their busy day to create holiday cards for the residents of Divine Rehabilitation and Nursing. What an awesome way to spread some holiday cheer! #fes #EaglesSoar
This week's Class of the Week is Mrs. Kamps' Class. The third graders in Mrs. Kamps’ class have been working extremely hard this year. In math, they have been learning all about multiplying and dividing. They recently learned how to multiply by 10’s. They have been learning about immigration, historical fictions, similes, finding the theme of a story, and writing their Santa letters. They have also been busy with a Flat Stanley project in social studies and are anxiously waiting for their Stanley’s to return so they can learn all about his adventures and the different places around the world he traveled. They are also keeping track of where Stanley was on their classroom map. They are excited about the holiday season and are looking forward to the projects and activities the third grade teachers have planned. Keep up the great work 3rd graders! #fes #EaglesSoar

This week's Class of the Week is Mrs. Melcher's 2nd Grade Class. Mrs. Melcher's students have been working hard with their student teacher, Ms. Zinkle, to learn many 2nd grade skills. Recently, they've learned about suffixes & prefixes, plural nouns, multiple meaning words, main topic & key details, and much more. In math, they've finished two-digit addition and have started learning two-digit subtraction. Last week, they got to use their knowledge to unlock a box that was left by Tad the Turkey. They also got the chance to learn about the Mayflower and its journey to the New World, by creating their own Mayflowers. Then they tested them to see if they could hold 102 passengers using marbles. What fun! Keep up the great work 2nd graders! #fes #EaglesSoar

Earlier this week the third grade classes learned about the history of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Then they made their own balloons and created their own Broadway Street. The students worked hard and really got creative with their balloons and it was super fun to see the end products! Great job 3rd Graders!

This past week the 2nd graders were busy learning about the Pilgrims and the First Thanksgiving. For one activity they had to build a Mayflower ship using just a few simple items. The ship had to stay floating while holding 102 people (marbles). A few students were able to build an unsinkable boat. They all agreed that they were thankful that they didn't have to cross the Atlantic Ocean on the Mayflower! #EaglesSoar #fes
This week's Class of the Week is Ms. Kauffman's Kindergarten Class. These 5 and 6 year olds are some hard workers. They have learned all of their letter sounds and a total of ten sight words! They are using their letter sounds to make CVC words. In math, they have worked on numbers to 10, while identifying groups that are greater or less. Recently during unit time they learned all about Thanksgiving. They even made a turkey craft! These kindergarteners sure love their holidays and can’t wait to get into the Christmas spirit at school. Keep up the great work 5K friends! #EaglesSoar #fes
Fourth grade students just finished learning about Wisconsin's first Native American groups. They took the information that they learned and made dioramas representing what their houses and the surrounding area looked like. It is always interesting to learn how the houses changed according to the group, the weather, and how they lived. Great job 4th Graders! #fes #EaglesSoar
