Fourth graders experimented with bean bag launchers in STEAM lab this week. They were challenged to hit a target at 4 feet, 6 feet, and 8 feet and realized that the tasks were much easier to accomplish when the results of each launch were carefully analyzed.
5th graders had an engaging opportunity to become empowered science learners today while we were using our new digital microscope!
After reading Mrs. Chicken and the Hungry Crocodile, third graders used Botley robots to demonstrate how Mrs. Chicken may have swapped the eggs in the story. Each team collaborated to devise four different solutions!
Mr. DeRosia's and Mr. Smith's classes collaborated together and used teamwork for some dodgeball!
This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Integrity. Integrity means you are honest and speak the truth. You present yourself genuinely and sincerely.
Integrity is doing the right thing when nobody is watching. People with integrity practice what they preach and maintain a consistent pattern of behavior aligned with their values. They have the courage not to follow the crowd if it means going against their beliefs.
“The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.”--BOB MARLEY
Community Pride and school spirit were evident today!!! Third graders truly enjoyed the band, cheerleaders, and the Homecoming court. They are ready for the parade and game.
Look at these 3rd grade nerds! They sure had some creative outfits.
Dear North Families,

4th grade had a Consumers Energy presentation teaching about natural resources and renewable energy. They also talked about how to save energy in hopes that the kids will apply the knowledge at home!
Sixth graders developed many solutions for harvesting "pumpkins" while learning about agricultural engineering. A nice reminder that differences should be celebrated!
Our 6th graders rocked their pink today for "Battle of the Classes" day at school! Check out all of the many students who wore pink!
Tomorrow is the day we have all been waiting for: BLUE and GOLD day. Show your Yellowjacket spirit and wear our school colors!

Today was dress like a Nerd day and we had several students take part in dressing up! Here is a group of sixth graders all dressed up as their favorite nerd.
Battle of the Classes day is tomorrow, Thursday, Oct. 12th. Dress in your grade level color: 3rd = PURPLE, 4th = WHITE, 5th = BLACK, and 6th = PINK.
We had many creative outfits today including, H for Happy Gilmore, M for Minnie Mouse as well as others who dressed as a mouse, L for Librarian, K for Kitten, I for Illustrator, B for Banana, B for Bob the Builder, E for Eiffel Tower, and many other great ideas! Such a creative way to show our spirit!

Our school woods project is proving to be a perfect example of what collaboration can do! We put up three trail cams, cleared two more trails, and completed a classroom set of stump stools all in two hours Sunday afternoon. Thank you SO much for all of the support for this exciting project!
