🚀🎉 Ready for Lift-Off: 5th Graders Soar with DIY Rocket Launches! After two weeks of working on their design, the 5th graders were eager and ready to launch their rockets. Using air pressure and water their rockets shot off into the air. Some of the rockets were destroyed by the speed of take-off, others fell apart on re-entry, and some went really high. Everyone had a lot of fun trying to catch them as they came back in for a landing. Overall, this project was a blast! #fes #EaglesSoar

This week's Class of the Week is Mrs. Neisius' 5th Grade Class. Mrs. Neisius and her student teacher, Mr. McCallum, have been keeping these 5th graders engaged and active! They have been working on creating fictional narratives during reading and literacy, focusing on different text elements such as similes, metaphors, and personification. In science they enjoyed finding the properties of different mystery powders that are found in a kitchen. They’ve been burning them, mixing them with acid, iodine and water, and even tasting them. They also started to create rockets out of two liter soda bottles that will launch into the air. They can’t wait to see how high they will get! #fes #EaglesSoar

This week's Class of the Week is Mrs. Schoenberg's 3rd Grade Class. Mrs. Schoenberg’s class has been working very hard in both reading and math. In reading, they have been exploring the ancient Roman Civilization and discussing its lasting impact on the modern world. In math, the third graders have been focusing on solving two-step story problems and reinforcing their understanding of adding, subtracting, multiplication and division. The class is filled with vibrant personalities, and it has been a pleasure for Mrs. Schoenberg to get to know each of them. She looks forward to continuing to support their learning and growth throughout the year. Keep up the good work 3rd graders!

A few of our fourth grade students participated in a Math 24 game sponsored by CESA 3 this morning! Math 24 is a fast paced mental math card game in which students need to think about the relationships between numbers. They are given 4 numbers and they have to use each number once and add/multiply/divide/subtract to make 24. This year's third place team consist of Aubrey Reuter, Annabelle Winkers, and Tatum Wood.
All fourth and fifth grade students get a chance to learn how to play Math 24 in their classrooms. What a great way for students to practice their math facts! #fes #EaglesSoar
