Jimmy Strand from the I.U.5 was in Mrs. Smith's Kindergarten class showing our Kindergarteners how to use a new math tool called a Rekenrek. A Rekenrek is an arithmetic frame designed to help students visualize addition and subtraction strategies. Students focus their learning on groups of 5 or groups of 10 up to 100. Students love using with new tools that offer them different ways to learn!
Art students paint brushes, paint strips, and a zentangle design for their artwork. Ironically they didn't use paint for this project at all! They used chalk pastels, sharpie markers, cardboard, yarn, and metal. The collage of materials and mediums made for a unique artwork!
In gym last week, the students did an activity called "Pace Maker." Pace Maker is set up as a race that works on their coordination skills, and how to pace themselves during physical activity.

The gifted students had an opportunity to check out the "chill room" at FHS with Mrs. Enterline and Evie, her therapy dog. The students enjoyed checking out the space and giving Evie some treats. The chill room is a place that students have the opportunity to utilize if they feel the need for a break if they are feeling overwhelmed. Our students really enjoyed the visit and even expressed how they'd like to visit again!
In Character Strong, fourth graders were talking about courage. Their challenge was to make a contraption that would keep an egg safe from a small drop. They were encouraged to have courage by making their ideas heard to the whole group.
Kindergarten had a paws-itively great day celebrating the 101st day of school! Students dressed up like Dalmatians and did lots of fun dog-themed learning activities!
Our gifted students were working on a "Rooftop" challenge... creating a sturdy enough roof to withstand lots of snow (flour)! Very important knowledge to have considering where we live!
The Fairview School District and the Fairview School Foundation invite our school community to attend the Rachel's Challenge presentation tonight at 7pm at FHS. Come see our newly renovated auditorium and witness an inspiring presentation focused on kindness and compassion.
Happy National School Resource Officer Day to three of the best in the business. Our school community appreciates your dedication and commitment to educating and securing our most precious assets.
Miss Clarks Autistic Support class has been kind enough to create a coffee cart for all the staff! Every Thursday, they bring it around to all staff members who may need a coffee pick me up or a snack to help them get through the morning. It is always a great joy to see their smiling face!
Our Kindergarteners have the best time learning about the different holidays and traditions. In Mrs. Mondy's class, they not only celebrated Groundhogs Day, but also the New Lunar year by trying their hand at using chopsticks!

Our Tiger Cub Closet has a new section! We have added a "fancy" clothes area. This is a section where students can pick out nicer clothes if they are in need for such occasions as the Daddy/Daughter Dance, church, weddings, etc. It adds a nice touch of sparkle to the area!
One of the benefits of being the "Top Dogs" of the school is that you get to go on cool field trips like to Peek N' Peak! In January, our 4th graders went tubing with their class, teachers, and Dr. Horn! What a perfect day for it! They had a great time as you can see!
More photos of the 4th grade field trip to Peek N' Peak!
