Third graders of Barnett Elementary put on their traditional Grandparent’s Day performance this year on September, 30th.  The students invited their grandparents to the school to eat lunch with them and following lunch were able to take their grandparents on a tour of the school and their classroom.  The program which followed consisted of several songs and poems about grandparents.  Several students also shared favorite memories of their grandparents.

Grandma Ingrid is missed by Barnett Elementary.

On October 4th, the Fifth Grade at Barnett Elementary participated in the annual Colonial Days. There was bread and candle making, wool spinning and weavig, and much more. For an added bonus, Mr. Pitcher came to play colonial style with some very excited students. Thanks to all of the 5th grade teahers and parent helpers for making it a fun and educational activity.

Over the last three weeks Alexi Olson, Taisha Howard, Danielle Pugh, Miranda Tarter, Brookelyn Smith, and Danielle Downey of Barnett elementary folded and put together a trihectohexacontagon.  A trihectohexacontagon uses 360 pieces of multicolored paper, and is about the size of a beach ball.   Each piece of the trihectohexacontagon is carefully folded and added into the project.  The girls spent about 30 minutes a day over the course of the three weeks to complete the project.  This is like making your own huge Rubik’s Cube.
