Last week during our PBIS Friday assembly the first student challenge was held. Any student from grades 3-5 could turn in Eagle Wings they earned for the chance to get their name drawn to compete in the challenge. Two students from each grade three through five took part in the challenge. The grade level students paired up and threw one marshmallow at a time to their partner who tried to catch it in a Solo cup. The goal was to try and catch as many marshmallows as you could in one minute. The 3rd grade pair caught 8 marshmallows and the 4th grade pair caught 18. The winning pair was the 5th graders who edged out the 4th graders by catching 19 marshmallows! Great job everyone! At this Friday's assembly, grades K-2 will get their turn at competing in a student challenge.#EaglesSoar #fes

This week's Class of the Week is Mrs. Langmeier's 5th Grade Class. These fifth graders have been working very hard this quarter. They are enjoying the tradebook, Number the Stars in Reading Class. As they read each chapter, they are working on various skills like comprehension, main idea, synonyms, antonyms, and context clues. They are using their keyboarding and language skills to publish essays about autumn fun in Wisconsin. In Social Studies, they are learning about the Thirteen Colonies. In Science, they are working on experiments with rice and in Math they are multiplying decimals. The students are excited to send out their Travel Journals. They hope to receive many postcards and learn about geography and different cultures as their journals travel around the country and maybe even the world. Keep up the great work 5th graders! #fes #EaglesSoar

Attention Fennimore Community - there is currently a phone scam calling businesses and community members asking for donations for Fennimore band t-shirts. This is not associated with our school in any way. Please do not donate money over the phone to anyone!
Earlier this month, fourth grade students had the opportunity to visit Madison to see our current capitol. While visiting the capital, students got to see where legislators pass laws and where our state's Supreme Court listens to the state's current issues. The students also made a stop in Belmont on the way to see Wisconsin's first capitol building. It was interesting to see where Wisconsin legislators first met and even more fun since it is in Southwest Wisconsin! Field trips like this are always a great as it helps students make connections to the Wisconsin history and government they learn about in class.
