Character Education

Earl Hanson teachers are using Character Education to teach skills which reinforce our Hawk I Rules of being respectful, responsible, and safe.  Character Education lessons are ways to practice how we want all students to behave at school.  For the month of May and June, we are learning:

Tolerance

REMINDER

At Earl Hanson school starts at 8:20.  Our breakfast is served from 7:50-8:15.  Students not eating breakfast are to arrive after 8:10, since there is no supervision provided.
Students must be dropped off and picked up in front of our school on 9th Street.  Please, remember that the circle drive is reserved for our busses and the north parking lot is reserved for our faculty.  Thank you so much for your support in keeping our students safe.

Ms.Schoening’s Class

On May 14th and 15th the student’s in Room 209 will have the opportunity to experience an overnight outdoor education program.  The Illowa Scouting program sponsors this program.  Students have been working on skills from the Learning for Life Program weekly.  This is the cultimating activity for the year.  Students will stay at Loud Thunder Boy Scout Camp.  They will stay in tents overnight, helping to plan menus and activities.  They will have to choose supplies, and plan purchases that will stay within a budget.  They will be involved in activities such as:  boating, fishing, and hiking, identification of trees, leaves, and animal tracks.  They will help with meal preparation and clean up. This is a great experience for all students.

Mrs. Heimburger’s Class

Our class enjoyed our trip to the Bandit’s game on April 27, 2009.  We were so lucky that the rain held off so we could take in the game after a four week reading project.  The Bandit’s WON the game Yeah!
We are looking forward to a full month of May.  We have a Dinosaur Dance that we have been practicing for May 5th.  We will be learning some fun facts about the farm and zoo animals.  We will end our year with a great field trip to the Zoo.  This has been a busy and fun year.

Mrs. Jorgensen’s 3/4 classroom

Hola!  This quarter we have joined Mrs. Stevenson’s class as we explore the Mayan ruins in Mexico and learn how to be archeologists with our video series “The Voyage of the Mimi.”  This video series also leads us into our mystery unit as detectives and our study of the rainforest later this quarter.  We are learning some basic Spanish and phrases as we learn about Mexico and are enjoying creating Mayan and Mexican art.  The most fun part of the Mexico unit is making our piñatas on the last day of the unit!  As we continue our detective work to solve all of our 4th quarter mysteries, we only hope that time is on our side!  Our remaining weeks of school will definitely be “Fabuloso!”
