Dr. Suess Family Night

Submitted by angela.stoddard on

Monday night Barnett Elementary turned into Whoville and students, families, teachers, and the communities came together to celebrate Dr. Suess in style! The families enjoyed a yummy dinner followed by participating in reading activities, games, and PTA events. The PTA held a Book Basket Auction and thanks to lots of support from our parents and community were able to raise lots of money for our school. Another exciting part of the evening was sending every child home with their very own book that night.

It's Electric!

Submitted by jaimie.standish on

Mrs. Standish's 5th grade class has been studying static and current electricity. On Monday, February 29th, students had the chance to explore their very own electrical circuits. They were able to understand why only a closed circuit would allow the light bulbs to turn on. Students then had the opportunity to experiment to see what would happen when they added more batteries, or when they added more lights. Students loved exploring the circuits and felt like "real electricians!"

Kindy 500

Submitted by jaimie.standish on

On Friday, the 26th of February, Kindergarten had their annual Kindy 500.  They and their parents worked hard all month on making a car out of a cardboard box.  It was amazing to see such a variety of fun cars.  They had tankers, rockets, a space ship, ice cream trucks, buses, and wonderful cars to drive.  After a short, but fun parade, they broke off into seven groups to go visits places and people of interest in our American History.
