Challenge; How long will 'snow shoes' made out of paper and tape stay on your feet? Mrs. McCrea's first graders wanted to find out.
The book, Rosie Revere, Engineer inspired Mrs. McCrea's first grade students to build the tallest structure they could using only spaghetti and marshmallows.
During the months of November and December, the 7th grade students at FHUMHS focused on the value of gratitude. They learned about the positive power of being grateful and sharing that gratitude with others. As a culminating activity, the 7th grade students created children’s books with morals centered around the importance and power of practicing gratitude. On December 21st, the 7th grade students walked to Fair Haven Grade School and spent time with all primary classes, grades Kindergarten through third. The middle school students read their books to the younger students, along with doing a craft highlighting gratitude. Each book created was gifted to one of the primary classrooms to become a part of their personal class library. Great job 7th graders, you were all wonderful role models and mentors for our primary students. Click the link to see a slideshow of photos from this event. https://youtu.be/W7K2z-4LKf0
