8th Grade students are exploring interest in the library. #NHTribe



Catherine is part of a group of 8 students playing Write, Read, Draw, Pass. Students write a short sentence from our class story, the next person illustrates the sentence and hides the original before passing th paper to the next person who guesses the original sentence. This continues for several turns and in the end they find out how much the original sentence changes. Some good laughs! #WardSpanish #NHTribe

Hello senior parents,
The New Horizon Chamber and Iowa BIG North students are partnering to display our class of 2021 senior banners down the well-traveled streets of New Hampton, as we have done this past year. We have asked your sons and daughters to submit a professionally taken photo of themselves that they would like displayed on their banner. (This photo must be at least 1,000 dots per inch) Numerous students have not completed this. Please discuss with them and send their preferred picture and name to be displayed on the banner to Mike Kuennen @m_kuennen@new-hampton.k12.ia.us
All submissions are final (please ensure you double-check name spelling)

Would you rather fly a kite or ride a scooter? Part of the morning meeting in Mrs. Wickham’s first grade class. Groundhogs Day brings conversation on what is spring & what does hibernation? Also a lesson on prediction.

Mrs. Matthews assists her students in learning lots of skills surrounding the lucky number 13! Students worked on holding a pencil, writing the number, counting and coloring (with smelly markers...yeah). Manipulatives help solidify the learning.
