Shoutout to the amazing Mrs. Kahl! 🎉 The Creativity Room was her creation and continues to be her passion! She’s spent every prep period and evening over the last two weeks updating it, adding newly donated items to help fuel our students' imaginations. Her dedication to fostering creativity in our Hornets is truly inspiring! We’re so lucky to have her! 💡❤️💙 #EveryStudentEveryDay #HornetPride #WeAreHemmeter

Fifth graders read an informational article about a Tik Tok ban then engaged in a Socratic seminar about it. A Socratic seminar is a discussion that is completely student led. Students share ideas and opinions that are supported with evidence from the text. Students sitting outside of the Socratic circle make observations and feedback to those in the middle of the room. They are the guide on the side. It was fun to watch the fifth graders lead this discussion! #HemmeterPride #WeAreHemmeter

What's up doc? I'll tell you what! 😂 These wascally wabbits along with the third graders enjoyed our 'Short & Sweet' carrot harvest from the Roots & Shoots Garden! Additionally, Mrs. Field's class sanoled some radishes, radish pods, and also planted up some Cherry Belle Radishes to take the place of the carrots. We scattered the other half of the bed with a plethora of other radish seeds gathered from last season's radish pods to use as a cover crop for the bed. The radishes act as storage units for nitrogen over the winter so the N doesn't leach out into the ground water. They will also act as 'biodrills' to keep the soil from compacting over winter. As an added bonus, this cover crop will hopefully supress some of the annual and perennial weeds that love to take over the beds and soak up all the nutrients. Yay for cover crops! P.S. Most of the kids looked confused when I mentioned Bugs Bunny, sooooo there's that 😂😂😂. - Chrissy Cannon

Mrs. Beird read 30,000 Stitches to some of our classes today, a powerful story of hope and unity. 🇺🇸 Afterward, students had the opportunity to touch a piece of the Pentagon, reflecting on the significance of 9/11. A meaningful way to honor and remember those impacted by this day in history. #NeverForget

Fifth graders are using doodle notes in science to capture their learning in a fun and creative way! Research shows that doodling can enhance retention of information by engaging different parts of the brain, improving focus, and helping students connect ideas visually. 🎨🧠 By combining visuals with key concepts, students can better absorb and remember what they're learning.

Not every day you see kids burying underwear in the garden... but that's science for ya! Our 4th grade Hornets are tackling the 'Soil Your Undies Challenge'—they’ve buried some large white undies in the Hemmeter garden to see if our soil is home to enough hardworking microorganisms. If the cotton gets broken down, we’ll have our answer. See you in 60 days for the big dig! #ScienceIsEverywhere #HemmeterHornets #SoilYourUndies
