Our district celebrated Kindness Week a couple of weeks ago. The Learning Center and Elementary buildings had several activities throughout the week designed to spread kindness and gratitude. We also had a change drive throughout the course of the week that accumulated approximately 400 lbs of coins. We are very happy to announce that, with the help of United Financial Credit Union, we have all of the change counted. We raised a total of $4,489.14 that will be donated to the Michigan Epilepsy Foundation! We could not be more proud and grateful for our community’s participation!

Kindness Week
6th grade students in Mrs. Furst, Mrs. Wirsing and Mr. Harrison’s Flex classes culminated their first Flex rotation with activities that dealt with pumpkins, all of which were generously donated by the List family. Mr. Harrison and Mrs. Wirsing’s classes used the pumpkins to determine the probability of seeds in each pumpkin, and Mrs. Furst’s class used the pumpkins as a blank canvas where students had to show their knowledge of the globe.

Leading up to Halloween, Mr. Wildey's 5th grade writers worked on a haunted house real estate writing activity. Students had to create a haunted house, describe it with lots of detail, write a newspaper article persuading readers to purchase the house, and answer random questions from potential buyers. They had a lot of fun with it, all of which culminated in a museum walk on Monday to share their final products!

Last week, our 5th grade science students participated in a Design Challenge. Students were faced with the problem of dropping a vehicle from 1 to 2 feet while keeping their marshmallow aliens in the cup without falling out. They had to consider the constraints and criteria of the challenge when designing their vehicle, as well as practice collaborative skills. Overall, they all had fun regardless of whether or not the vehicles met the goal.

In the spirit of the big MSU vs. U of M game this past Saturday, Ms. Cereske's 5th grade students competed and played “football”, reading class style, to represent their favorite team. The students discussed what it meant to be a good sport and practiced sportsmanship while reviewing what they've learned so far during their novel study on the book, “Insignificant Events In The Life of A Cactus”. Students had a lot of fun working as a team to get first downs, and they even scored a couple of touchdowns for each team!

Our 4th grade students had the opportunity to learn about how electrical energy is created and delivered. Some even acted as parts of the electrical system in order to demonstrate how power is generated at a Consumers Energy plant. In addition, every 4th grader got to take home their own energy saving kit!

Mrs. Quast’s 3rd grade class and Mr. Eaton’s 4th grade music classes were captured performing their original compositions in “Composition Fest”. After watching STOMP, students came up with their own rhythms and melodies using various instruments and found sound objects in the classroom. There were a variety of musical styles and some very creative use of instruments and newly found sound objects! Fun was had by all, and the students were literal rockstars!
