Veteran's Day

All of the 5th graders created flags in tribute of Veteran's Day. The students were very creative. There were flags made from a boot, clock, basketball, scooter, wood, planter, Christmas lights, posters, and many other materials.

Weather Instruments

Mrs. Klocke's section created weather instruments. They made thermometers, rain gauges, baraometers, wind vanes, and anemometers. Keep watching and discussing the weather with your child.

D.A.R.E.

D.A.R.E. stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education. It is also an acronym for a decision making model.

• Define the problem


• Access your choices


• Respond to the situation


• Evaluation - Did you make a good decision?

We learned several ways to Take Charge in a positive way. They are to walk away, say no, strength in numbers, avoid the situation, skipping CD, use humor, and change the subject. We also learned how different kinds of drugs such as tobacco, beer, liquor, inhalants, and marijuana can harm our body and others. We talked a lot about bullying and how to handle a situation if we are bullied or see someone being bullied.

Thank you to Officer Schoop for teaching us how to take charge in our lives. Drug Free is the Way to Be!

Rollerskating in P.E.

A big thank you to Mr. Schultz for planning our rollerskating unit. It was so much fun. I truly believe rollerskating is a life long skill the students can use. It is a great way for them to get exercise; and boy, were they ever hot and sweaty after each day of rollerskating. I even got into the adventure and rollerskated with them for a while on their last day.
