To celebrate finishing the book "The Outsiders" the 8th graders had a Greaser vs Soc dress up day today. Here are the top three! Mrs. ten Hoeve even got in on the fun!
Today 7th graders had the amazing experience of listening to and interviewing Lou Arens, a Turkey Valley graduate, and former news anchor who was in the Florida classroom with President Bush when he received the news of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Students heard Lou's story and learned about journalism and interviewing techniques they can use as they work on their own projects.
For those that missed Carter on tv today, here is the video broadcast. Nice interview Carter!

September TRIBE students of the month. The one with the kids sitting could say: NHE had help with some 4th graders to demonstrate what good sportsmanship looks like at the TRIBE assembly.
A photo of Good Sportsmanship has been going viral on social media between Mario Hoefer of Charles City and Carter Steinlage of New Hampton. Mario was helping Carter work out a cramp during the game and the image was caught by Wendy Hegtvedt Luft. This has been shown on local and national news. It has even made Sports Center. On Monday, September 27th, Carter and Mario will be zooming in with GMA3 at 9:10. Please watch and support our students and conference sportsmanship!

This is a 3rd grade project with Twin Ponds Nature Center. The system is called Hydroponics system, which means the 3rd graders will grow plants from seeds in our classroom which will eventually be transferred to the aquarium. Soon fish will be added to the tank and the filtered water will be used to provide nutrients for the plants to grow above the tank. We plan to grow lettuce, spinach, peas, pumpkins, dill, kale, and chives.
