Third Grade held mock elections on November 3rd. Students learned about the political candidates running for state governor and Congress. To encourage students to form their own opinions, we used colors instead of candidates’ names. Students explored some of each candidate’s campaign goals and practiced being respectful, anonymous voters.
This was a great opportunity for students to learn about the election process and the importance of being informed and respectful voters!

Homecoming week
If you are at the Vernon County Fair, check out our booth in the Education building. The kids in grades K-5 worked so hard to each create their portion. Kindergarteners made sunflowers, 1st graders made themselves farmers, 2nd graders made cows, 3rd graders did the farm stand, 4th graders made the giant cow, carrots and merits. 5th graders worked collaboratively to create their portion background farm scene.
The kids enjoyed a new breakfast item this morning banana split parfaits!
No School Friday!

3rd graders had a great start to Fruit of the Week by learning all about one of the most popular summer fruits—watermelon. The goal of Fruit of the Week is to help students learn more about fruits they already enjoy, while discovering new fruits they may not have tried before. Here are a few of students favorite watermelon discoveries: “Watermelons can be grown in squares!” “There are lots of different colors of watermelon!” “Watermelon gives you some of the vitamins that help protect you from sunburn!” “Watermelons weren’t always seedless!” The learning didn’t stop there! Students learned that people eat watermelon rind stir-fry and that watermelon seeds can be roasted and eaten. Everyone had the opportunity to try roasted watermelon seeds. While the seeds didn’t beat the fruit itself, five students became roasted watermelon seed fans! The best part was sharing an orange watermelon together.
