Check it out!

Here is a collection of pictures from things that have been going on in our classroom.  Look for our kiddos reading with their 1st grade book buddies, learning how to find factor pairs, dissecting a cow eye, practicing our keyboarding skills, and learning how the eye works with an eye model!

Socktober!

Harlan Elementary joined forces with the high school this year to put on our 2nd annual sock drive known as Socktober!  At Harlan, we had a goal to collect 1,000 socks.  Each grade level worked very hard and we SURPASSED our goal!!!  The high school almost doubled the goal, meaning we collected close 3,000 pairs of socks.  The Fellowship Cup, along with many other organizations in our area, was extremely grateful for our donations. 

Guest Teachers

Recently, we have had some guest teachers come in to our classroom to teach us some valuable lessons.  Students from Iowa Wesleyan University came last week to teach us about number and shape patterns.  The students really enjoyed all the fun activities they planned for us!  Today, a creative writing class came to teach us how to be more descriptive when we write.  We hope that they come back again soon.

At least two times a month, Cari from the Oakland Mills Nature Center comes for an hour long activity.  Her last two visits included Native American games and how to use a compass.
