"There’s something special about kindergarten! 📚 Sometimes, all a kid needs is a good book and a great friend by their side. We're working hard, learning, and making friendships that will last a lifetime! ❤️💙 #KindergartenMagic #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
Should animals be allowed in schools? First graders in Mrs. Eichinger’s class read an article about this topic and wrote their own opinions. After, they shared their opinions with their classmates.

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
Mrs. Kahl, Mrs. Rummler, Mrs. Graham, and Mr. Bailey just completed their first round of training with LEGO Education, and it was an amazing experience! 🎉 The focus was on creativity, collaboration, coding, and robotics, and we can't wait to bring all these exciting new tools and skills to our students. The kids are going to love this so much! #LEGOEducation #EveryStudentEveryDay #CodingAndRobotics
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.
Third grade was flexing their creativity muscles in the Creativity Room today! 🎨 From crafting rubber band bracelets and exploring with kinetic sand to building with Legos, learning to play instruments, and designing with beads – the room was buzzing with excitement and imagination. We love seeing our students dive into hands-on activities that inspire creativity and collaboration! #CreativeLearners #WeAreHemmeter
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

Is there anything better than a read-aloud right after lunch recess? *Skinnybones* by Barbara Park is always a 4th-grade favorite!
Mrs. Little's class is starting the day off with some #NumberTalks. These quick, daily discussions help our young learners develop strong mental math skills, build confidence in problem-solving, and encourage a growth mindset. Plus, it's amazing to see how different strategies come together.
