Kylee & Amber Junk, the Elementary PBIS committee and the High School Athletic Department have teamed up to present the Kid Captain program at New Hampton Elementary! Join us in congratulating our first Kid Captain: Lucia Rivera! Let's cheer her on as she joins the Lady Chickasaws at Tuesday's basketball game!
Our three year old preschool students love play dough activities! Not only does using play dough develop students' fine motor skills by strengthening their finger muscles and increasing their hand eye coordination, it also gives tons of opportunities for creativity! From forming letters to making feeling faces to creating their own Thanksgiving or Christmas decoration, the possibilities are endless.
The New Hampton Interact Club still has coats available in a variety of sizes for anyone in need. The coats, along with some gloves and hats, are located in the High School upper lobby. Stay warm!
We kicked off 8th Grade Career Week with the New Hampton Economic Development team and Leisuretime Golf Carts. Students learned about job applications, soft and hard skills, work-based learning opportunities, and explored various career fields.
The elementary school is having a winter concert!! The concert will start at 7 pm, tonight, December 1st.
The New Hampton Interact Club is still accepting donations for the Chickasaw Closet through December 5. If you have gently used Chickasaw clothing to donate, there are boxes in the elementary office, middle school office, high school lower lobby and high school cafeteria. Thank you for your generosity and look for a pop-up store soon!
Baking One Class made a double pie crust apple pie to take home for Thanksgiving! The students found out it takes practice to roll out homemade pie crust. Most chose to do a lattice top to their apple pie. Early in the semester the baking students made the apple pie filling, with free apples from Mrs. Schmitt's tree, and froze it. This week they just needed to make the pie dough, put the pie together and bake it. The FCS room smells wonderful while the pies are baking. The students also learned how to tell when the pie is done. They wrote a reflection piece in the form of a lab report about their experience. Happy Thanksgiving!
New Hampton's fourth graders enjoyed learning about nutrition using a hands-on lesson presented by Jessica Rochford, Ag in the Classroom. Each student made a nutrition bracelet to represent the daily servings needed for a balanced diet. The students also identified the different food groups using examples of school lunches. Thank you, Jessica, for the fun activity.
The 4th grade literacy classes tracked their reading for the month of November. Every “feather” on the turkey equals one hour. Amazing job 4th graders! Way to gobble up those books!
Today Mr Rude’s intervention tried a little engineering. Using only four sheets of paper they had to build the tallest freestanding tower they could. We're still in amazement how high the winning tower made it and how it didn't fall over during wind and shake tests!
