Mr. Waidelich recently talked to the preschool classes about the different 3D printers in our STEAM lab. Printing in chocolate was their favorite part. Mr. Waidelich printed the first letter of each student’s name as a parting gift for being such great listeners and learners! He even made music notes for his former elementary music teacher, Mrs. Hill.
Thank you to Mrs. Schramm for coming in last week to help wrap/protect some new and donated books. We appreciate you and love seeing you back in the halls! Keep your eyes out for new reading material this week, Blackbirds! 📚

Mrs. Miller's 4th grade Blackbirds have enjoyed a few fun activities recently. They played tug of war and related it to how earthquakes occur. When two plates are under pressure (two students pulling) the stress needs to be released, resulting in an earthquake. Students were able to fill the pressure/release throughout the activity and relate it to tectonic plates and plate boundaries. Students competed on an Amazing Math Race. They needed to complete different tasks around the school that reviewed topics we completed in class (place value, comparing numbers, ordering numbers). Students found their math problems by using the clues from their papers. Great job, Blackbirds!
Mrs. Hoffmire's kindergarten students learned about the letter Hh this week. They worked as Helping Hands washing tables in the cafeteria. A water bottle and plastic glove always makes cleaning more fun. Unprompted, they said, "Well, we gotta help. We are the StarBurst Bunch." Great job, Blackbirds!
It's always great to be a Blackbird, but today was an incredible day! STATE BOUND!!
Congratulations, PHS Golf ⛳️
