Our sixth graders were inspired this week by a local manufacturing professional who read "Metal Man," a story about self-discovery and artistic vision. This event was offered by Gratiot-Isabella RESD Career Navigators, providing students with guest readers from various career clusters throughout March is Reading Month. These collaborations not only empower our youth but also strengthen our community.
With 7 days left in our fundraiser, our leaderboard is listed below. Team Sopocy is in 4th place--just a few dollars behind Team Workman. Great work Jackets! Final prizes will be awarded after Spring Break!
Way to go! North Elementary will be accepting donations until 11:59 p.m. on March 28th.
Friday: Clone Wars Day – Dress as twins with a friend and show off your matching outfits!
Fourth graders worked to reduce soil erosion by designing plows that would leave "old plant parts" (beads) on top of the soil (carpet) and only till up the rows needing to be planted. Edison robots served as the tractors!
Thursday: Space Jam Day – Represent your favorite sports team by wearing a jersey or team shirt! Whether it's basketball, football, soccer, or another favorite, show your team spirit!
It was fun to have a guest reader join Ms. Bush's room for Reading Month! The students listened to Kiley Kochensparger read Salt in His Shoes and learned how hard Michael Jordan had to work to
achieve his dream. They were also very interested in Kiley's jobs- helping high schoolers pursue career interests and refereeing basketball games!
4th graders had an exciting Science afternoon at Alma College! They were engaged in chemical reactions, learning about animals, and testing their high jump height!
Wednesday: Wacky Alien Day – Transform into a mismatched, wacky space alien! Think crazy colors, mismatched patterns, and out-of-this-world creativity!

Sixth graders experimented with potential and kinetic energy concepts by creating roller coaster loops during STEAM. Collaboration was key to successfully constructing a loop-filled track.
