Students and staff celebrated the 100th day of school today by dressing up like they were 100 years old. I'd say they look pretty good for being 100! Happy 100th day everyone!
Kindness Project! A little kindness can go a long way in making the world a better place. Abbie McKitrick, school counseling intern, worked with K-6 grade students on what kindness really means. The students completed a kindness project where they decorated coffee sleeves with kind words or kind pictures to spread to the Ennis community. The three local coffee shops will have a “kindness day” this week to spread cheer to others. The students talked about what kindness is, what kindness looks like, what it feels like when someone is kind to them, what it feels like when they are kind to others, and how they can show kindness to others every day. Great job K-6 students - someone is really going to enjoy your message with their coffee this week and hopefully will pass your kindness along to others! See attached pics to see some of the great messages the K-6 students came up with!
Mrs. Klein's Kindergarten class was working on their Science Fair Project today. They were doing an experiment on thermal energy to test their hypothesis. Their hypothesis was based on how many mini candles it would take to provide enough thermal energy to turn the fans that they created. Their results and conclusions can be found at the Science Fair next Monday. Great job Kindergarteners!
