Harrison East Elementary• Mr. Bengier’s 4th grade social studies students explored their world by drawing poster-sized renditions of our planet.
• Mrs. Noble’s 1st grade class celebrated their AR reading goals by having an ice cream extravaganza!
• Students in Ms. Jacobsen’s ELA classes enjoyed a book tasting event. Students got to “taste” a variety of book genres and completed a brochure so they can use as a reference when checking books out at the library. After the book tasting, students completed a reflection on the experience. Allison Henry stated, “I loved the book tasting. I am very surprised at the books I read. I liked being introduced to new books because it got me out of my comfort zone of books. I loved the book tasting!” Another 3rd grader, Madison Blawut said, “I wish we would do this every day! This was the best thing I have done. This is how reading can be fun. I loved reading new books today.”
Fifty Star Fun presented by Harrison East PTO
• Harrison East had the honor of recognizing over 170 students who achieved Honor Roll, Principal’s List, or Perfect Attendance for the 3rd 9-week grading period. To celebrate the students were able to go on a treasure hunt. Clue were strategically placed around the school and the students worked in groups to see who could finish first. Some of the prizes included hat day, extra recess, and bunny sitting with Mrs. Stinespring’s rabbit. Pictured below are two of the 5th grade teams and a happy little bunny sitter.
• The 3rd grade recently had a creative writing assignment where students applied for the Easter Bunny position. Students also authored an opinion piece on the best Easter egg hunt ever.
• Nothing says spring time like spring pictures. Students (and teachers) enjoy the memories made with class and group pictures.
• Mrs. Carman’s 4th grade students were asked, “What is your passion? What will you do to improve yourself, your school, or your world?” Esther Harris, retired school teacher, shared her passion about nature and animals with the fourth graders. They created individual booklets to share with their families. Students picked up some drawing and shading techniques. They also used sand, stickers, cotton, and glitter to enhance their drawings. Lastly, the students came to the realization that it is up to us to protect the Earth and respect each other as unique irreplaceable gifts.
• Working together, Harrison East’s PTO and Harrison Hills Safe Schools Healthy Schools provided the students and staff with some motivational, high energy encouragement before state testing begins. Higher Impact reminded the students key elements to their success on state testing such as studying, practicing, good night’s sleep, and eating healthy . The mnemonic of READY motivated the students to reach higher, erase negative attitudes, apply what they’ve learned, doing their best, and you can do it. Higher Impact even had the staff participating in some fun-spirited skits and a whole lot of dancing!
• Miss Bethel’s fifth grade classes had a math Easter egg hunt. Inside the eggs, the students found a sweet treat and a math question!
• Mrs. Sproull’s 3rd grade social studies classes participated in a community service project involving Harrison County Dog Shelter. Students collected food, collars, and toys for the residents at the dog shelter. The students were able to tour the updated facility and were given a short presentation by dog wardens John Birney and Jeff Campbell detailing how the animals are placed in loving, fur – ever homes. This gave the students an understanding of what it means to help their community and the importance of being a good citizen.
• Mrs. Mallernee’s preschool letter recently was “Uu”. Students experienced under table art. They taped paper to the underside of the table and the little artists found a new and different way to practice writing their letters!
