Quack of Dawn Trivia Duck
Mrs. Wenzel's students love the Quack of Dawn trivia duck so much, that they all received their own ducks and are building a room just for them. They are applying their 3D Geometry skills to make a room for their duck. This week they started drawing sketches, measuring surface area, and drawing nets of their shoebox that they are using for their rooms.
Silver Team Science Dissections
Mrs. Flesch's science classes participated in two dissections over the past couple of weeks. Students were able to observe the external and internal anatomy of two invertebrate animals: an earthworm and a squid. Students did a great job following laboratory safety procedures!
LIVE Spring Concert
The Fernwood and Alder Bands held a LIVE Spring Concert on Friday, June 4th. The Fernwood Wind Ensemble, Drumline, and Concert Band performed to a limited crowd of parents and family members. It was great bringing live music back to the Fernwood Auditorium. You can watch the performance on EHT TV.
