The 5th grade class participated in a 10 week DARE program. They learned a lot about making the right choice in various situations. The students ended the program with a DARE Graduation. Students were chosen to read their DARE report and presented to their class and family members. Congrats, 5th Graders!
Mr. Olmsted has volunteered several days this year to be a WatchDOG! The students in Ms. Lovejoy's 1st grade class love working with him in small groups!
Students in Mr. McCormack's 7th hour Zoology began day one of a 2-day fetal pig dissection, dissections similar to what they would find at a Division 1 university. They have studied the mammalian anatomy among others throughout the year and the fetal pig is the best example we can give the students of this form. As they culminate the work of the year, students use this hands-on opportunity to find the heart, trachea and clean the circulatory system, made easier to identify as the arteries and veins have been dyed blue and red. They continued the dissection later by looking at cross sections of the heart and kidneys and working through the digestive system.
Several students were recognized at the FFA Banquet earlier this month. Congratulations to the following!

They played a couple songs and showed some videos of their performances on stage - by the way, they sounded AMAZING! A few students shared how the trip impacted them and their appreciation for Mr. Burkhart and the community for helping them have this unique experience. For more pictures and videos of their performances, check out the article on our homepage: https://www.colemanschools.net/article/2148414

Previously in the Third Grade, some sparkly ducks had flocked to Mr. Liechty's room. His class was able to catch most of them, but they think a few retreated to Mrs. Pelletier's classroom. To help her class out, Mr. Liechty's class caught some predators to slither after the stragglers. I wonder what will happen next time in the Third Grade . . .
Ms. Rocheleau's class loves watching the eggs grow! They will be hatching so soon! We're excited! 🐣🥚
