Fifth graders were challenged to demonstrate their knowledge of light sources and shadows by creating specific shadow shapes using our small blue blocks. Can you spot a person, a W, an ice cream cone, a dolphin, a house, a 4, a tree, and an umbrella? This challenge proved to be much trickier than we thought it would be!

4th graders had an enjoyable presentation about stringed instruments. They listened to the different sounds the violin, cello, and viola make. They were even able to try playing them! Thank you to the local community members who were able to do this for us!
Thank you to Michigan One Community Credit Union for selecting North Elementary and South Elementary for the M1 Community Bonus award again this year! Each school was awarded $500.
After learning that the Rockefeller Christmas Tree is used to make Habitat for Humanity homes once the holiday season is over, these community-minded builders created models of habitat homes using our Zenius kits. The kits are very tricky to use, but they didn't give up trying!
Join us for our North Elementary Family Fun Night this Thursday from 5:30-6:30. Creating snowflakes and using our wind tunnel to help them gently land in a snow pile, and using magnetic coaster kits to see just how tricky it is to get presents down the chimney and into the right location are just two of the fun activities we have planned!

Now that My School Closet has distributed all 290 bags of clothing for the fall deliveries, it is time to help them replenish their stock so they can continue to service the families in need in our district. North Elementary has a box to drop off donations to the program. Thank you for your help in serving our community.
Parents: We have quite a few items in our lost and found. Please take a minute and glance through these pictures to see if you recognize any of the clothing. We are making room for the winter lost and found items, so we will be donating anything left to My School Closet after the Thanksgiving Break.
5th graders used their creative minds to build models with cookies to show the moon phases!
