Congratulations to our November Students of the Month! All of these students have been caught demonstrating positive character strengths during the month of November!
Sixth graders learned about biomedical engineering today by creating multipurpose surgical tools. They then tested them with our STEAM-lab version of the game Operation. Students needed to remove three different objects from a box without knocking down any golf tees!
This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of KINDNESS. Kindness means you are generous to others and you are never too busy to help out. You enjoy doing good deeds for other people.
“Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”--MARK TWAIN
The students appreciated the strings presentation by Miss. Chaffee today!
4th graders were grateful for the pumpkin pie that was made or bought this week! They also had the opportunity to plan the perfect Thanksgiving dinner- which included a lot of gummi bears 🤣!
Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow, Wednesday November 22nd is a half day of school and students will be dismissed at 11:35 AM.
Fifth graders read Balloons Over Broadway: The True Story of the Puppeteer of Macy's Parade and collaborated to construct working marionettes!
This week our school community will spend the next three days focusing on the character strength of Gratitude as we head into the Thanksgiving break. Out of all 24 character strengths, gratitude is the single best predictor of individual well-being. It is correlated with increased energy, empathy, happiness and optimism. And, the great thing about gratitude is that it can be intentionally cultivated.
Dear North Families,
We will not be sending The Buzz or teacher newsletters out next week because it is a short week. Please have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families.
Swarm Together,
North Elementary
5th graders received an engaging nutrition lesson about the importance of hand washing!

GCF continues to be a community partner for our school,students, and staff and we appreciate the positive relationship we have fostered with the foundation. Together we can provide resources to support student achievement.
After reading a story about a baby dropping food bits just to watch pets gobble them up, third graders were challenged to design high chairs that would prevent food from getting on floor!
North Elementary students created a GRATITUDE window today! Each student had the opportunity to write one thing they are grateful for. 🐝💙🐝💙🐝
Mrs. Workman's and Ms. Raymond's classes enjoyed a beautiful day at Forest Hill on Monday! Partaking in hands-on activities, the kids learned about birds, mammals and aquatic life in Michigan (like leeches!). We appreciate all of the chaperones and volunteers that make our trips out there so wonderful!
Just a friendly reminder that there is NO SCHOOL tomorrow, Wednesday, November 15th--Good Luck to all the Hunters! See everyone back on Thursday!
The sixth graders are studying the human body system in Science class. Through each lesson the students are learning what each body system function is and also working together on their collaboration skills working in a small group too.
Last week Mr. Smith walked into a surprise from his class as well as from a TV reporter from WZZM 13 On Your Side to honor him as Teacher of the Week. Check out the full story on WZZM13 website to watch the full article and interview. Congrats to Mr. Smith.
4th graders were fortunate to have community member Scott Johnson come in and sing The Edmund Fitzgerald song and read The Song of the Bell!
Thanks to Donors Choose, families, and community partners my third graders received additional math games to support their math goals! Learning math can be engaging and fun.
