Welcome to Kidsville - Population Mrs. Julia Duncan's class!
Students in Mrs. Duncan's first grade class at Northside have been busy working on their Community Day projects for STEM. Students researched different jobs that they could do in the community and worked on engineering a box into a building that goes along with their job.
What a fun lesson! #Kidsville
The first graders in Mrs. Amanda Wolfe's class at Northside are simply glowing! Yesterday, students were able to glow and show what they know!
What a fun way to learn!
It was Career Day yesterday at Northside Elementary with a number of special guests (all former BHS graduates) sharing about what they do for a living. Guests included: Andy Carvel, Hartford City Public Works; Olivia (Cale) Messer, Granny's Bloomers; Amy Smith, Hartford City Public Library, Ed Thurman, WPGW Radio; and Melany (Rarey) Sherril, personal trainer.
Thank you to everyone who made this a special day of learning for our students!
Camp Read-A-Lot has been underway in Mrs. Cristi Aulbach's 2nd grade class at Northside. According to Mrs. Aulbach, students have enjoyed their classroom transformed into a camping wonderland! They have been reading with finger flashlights under their "tents" as they complete their camp-related reading and math activities. Why, there's even s'more snack mix to add to the adventure! What an excellent way to end an amazing 2nd grade year!
Way to go, Cubs!
