In Mrs. Kenan's 6th grade math class, students dove into the world of measurement! Students explored standard units of length, volume, weight, and mass by measuring different objects in a fun, hands-on environment! This type of learning encourages critical thinking and helps students apply their math skills to real-world situations.

We can't wait for your return!

SFMS 8th Grade Science
The Jensen Family gave the book, Just Like Caitlin, to every second-grader in the state of Iowa today. This book tells Caitlin Clark's story and includes many important life lessons like dreaming big, working hard, and valuing relationships over winning. Dickson and Luann Jensen are proud Iowans, business owners, coaches, parents, and grandparents. They are proud of Caitlin Clark and believe she is a great role model for all kids. Because of their love for children and desire to impact the next generation, they hope this book inspires kids to believe their future can be greater than they imagine. FES second-graders posed for a picture at the 3-point line to be just like Caitlin. They returned to their classroom, and Miss Henniges read the story to them.
The 6th Grade students have started a functional writing unit. Part of this unit is learning to write detailed instructions to complete a task. The students practiced this skill by learning how to do a paper clip magic trick.
Congratulations to our Cougar All-Conference volleyball players! Great job!!
