Kindergarten students were in the innovation lab this month! We read the story, Tacky the Penguin. They learned some new vocabulary words along with learning about problem and solution in a story. They then had a STEM challenge. It was to create a shelter for Tacky and his friends so they hunters wouldn't get them. The shelters had to have a lookout tower, an escape slide, room for Tacky and his friends, and room for a Rookery (penguin nest). These kindergartners were so creative and will make amazing engineers. We work through the engineer process during our STEM challenges.






Miss Vossberg's scientists conducted a Snowman Experiment over the last two days.
We took 3 observations!

New Hampton Elementary Families,
Today at the Elementary School we had a student health issue, in which we called for ambulance services. Since it is unusual for us to have emergency vehicles at the school, I didn’t want parents to be alarmed. The emergency was handled by EMS and students and staff were able to continue their school day. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Emily Steele
