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.  

First graders create their version of a dot after listening to The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds.

Friday Night Lights. Go Hawks!

We had a special guest during Art Club today! T Swift was at The Hive!

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

Mrs. Nikki is the Double Dutch Queen! We have the best lunch supervisors! #EveryStudentEveryDay

Mrs. Ode’s first grade PE class is taking on the scarf catching challenge today! These young Hornets are improving their hand-eye coordination while having so much fun!

🍎 Our 5th graders got creative with Apple Acrostic Poems! 🍏 Each student used their own name to tell us more about themselves, filling each letter with fun facts and unique traits.

Fifth graders are deep into their volume unit, tackling math problems in groups—and they’re crushing it! Think you can keep up? Can you solve this volume problem like a fifth grader? Let’s see who’s got the skills! 🧠👀 #MathChallenge #ParentvsStudent #FifthGradeMath

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.

When you get to touch hockey's Memorial Cup!
