Today was Elf Day or Red & Green Day at North. Check out all of the many elves that were found down in the 6th grade hallway.
Tomorrow is Elf Day/Red & Green Day--dress up as one of Santa's helpers, or wear red and green!
Thank you to everyone who helped make our book fair a success! You make a difference!
After learning about endangered plants, third graders were tasked with creating paths for our Indi robots that avoided the plants on their map. Different colors cause the robots to move in different directions, so they had to carefully analyze where each color should be placed.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, December 13 is Ugly Sweater Day. Wear your favorite 'ugly' holiday sweater!
This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Self-Control. Self-control means you can control your emotions and behaviors. You think before you act.
“Today I will do what others won’t, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can’t.”--JERRY RICE

North Elementary was well represented in the Student Technology Showcase at the Capitol today! Hazel Strong, Remington Rose, MJ Vozar, and Brooklynn Leadford presented the neat ways we use technology in STEAM at North Elementary. They received many compliments on their presentation skills and content knowledge!
This week our school community will be focusing on the Other People Mindset of Supporting Others When They Struggle. This means when other people are struggling, we do our best to help them out.
Supporting other people when they struggle is a critical piece of being human. There are many different approaches to helping people who are struggling. These can include: listening while they describe an event and their feelings about it, taking action to help people in need, or simply just being there and sitting together in silence.
4th graders put their persuasive skills to use when they presented a slide show describing why Michigan is the best state!
Our 4th grade Lego teams did AMAZING at their first competition today! Team A received the ROBOT DESIGN AWARD 2nd place and team B received the RISING ALL-STAR AWARD! I'm so proud of these young engineers!
4th graders had fun in the snow this week! The smiles and laughter were worth the time it takes to put on all their snow gear!
Our two 4th grade teams will be competing in our district's first Lego League competition Saturday at Freeland High School. They have been working on their projects since September and are very excited to celebrate their hard work with other 4th-6th grade Lego teams from across the state.
Sixth grade students on Fridays use their writing skills. Each week the students respond to math writing prompts. This empowers students to express their mathematical thinking in a personal and meaningful way. The personalized connection with math not only aids in understanding but also helps to foster a positive attitude towards the subject.
Congratulations to our November Students of the Month! All of these students have been caught demonstrating positive character strengths during the month of November!
