Trout Eggs are Hatching in 6th Grade 2016

The 6th graders’ Trout in the Classroom project sponsored by the Nebraska Games and Parks Commission is underway! About 160 rainbow trout eggs arrived on the 13th. The first eggs hatched three days sooner than our predicted date of Jan. 22nd. We’ll continue to research and investigate the trout life cycle and anatomy as they grow large enough to be released to a stock pond at the AkSarBen Aquarium in May. We shared a close up look at newly hatched alevins with our pre-school reading buddies.

Third Grade’s Mrs. Leishman’s Class is Classroom of the Week

Congratulation to Mrs. Leishman’s Third Grade Class for being Classroom of the Week in the Blair Enterprise. Her class has a monthly contest to see who can get the most Accelerated Reader points. Winners this month were Levi Lasher (1st place), Addie Benoit (2nd place), and Ali Bell (3rd place). School wide, we have a reading buddies program. This week, 3rd Grade reading buddies showed their Kindergarten friends how to use the iPad to log into the Accelerated Reader App to take test. All of our students enjoy this time together.
