This week,Mrs. Mast's Class embarked on an exciting journey into the world of paleontology by creating our own mold and cast fossils! Through hands-on learning, students gained a deeper understanding of how fossils are formed and what they tell us about ancient life.
They began by using clay to create molds. Students carefully pressed various dinosaur skeletons, into the clay, leaving behind detailed imprints. These imprints represented the "mold" – the hollow space left behind by a buried organism. Next, They prepared a "casting" material by carefully pouring Elmer's glue into the molds. As the glue dried and hardened, it filled the empty space, creating a solid replica of the original object. Once dry, these glue casts were carefully removed from the clay molds, revealing detailed three-dimensional fossils. This activity allowed students to visualize the process of fossilization, demonstrating how organisms can leave behind impressions in sediment that later harden into rock. By creating both molds and casts, students experienced firsthand how paleontologists study fossils to reconstruct the shapes and forms of ancient creatures and plants.








Way to go Bears!🥎


Kindergarten screening will be Thursday, May 1st.


Good luck Bears!🥎


Congratulations Molly!


A huge congratulations to our amazing 5th and 6th-grade students who just completed the epic House of Cards Makerspace Challenge!
For weeks, our young engineers have been hard at work, tackling a truly challenging task: building the tallest, most stable tower possible using only TWO decks of cards and tape. The dedication and perseverance they showed were truly inspiring!
There were countless attempts, lots of deconstruction, and even more redesigns as they worked to perfect their prototypes. They researched different construction methods, learned about the importance of tension and compression, and even explored the crucial role of a truss in building strong structures.
After weeks of hard work and creative problem-solving, we have our champions! A massive round of applause for Avery, Lilly, and Grace, whose incredible tower soared to a winning height of 52 inches! That's right, 52 inches of pure card and tape engineering brilliance!
This challenge wasn't just about building a tower; it was about fostering critical thinking, collaboration, and resilience. Seeing these students experiment, learn from their mistakes, and ultimately succeed was truly remarkable. We're so proud of all their efforts!










A Book Club party was held last night at the HN Public LIbrary in Dunkirk. Students made crafts, played games, enjoyed pizza and cookies, and spent time looking through the library collection and selecting books. Thank you to Becky Coker and the HN Public Library for allowing us to have this fun evening in their new addition!










Picture Day is March 26th.

Today, our junior high and high school students took on the Hardin Northern Grit Rally Challenge and had an absolute blast! They had the choice to compete in an intense dodgeball showdown or enjoy other activities like board games, chess, and cards. No matter what they chose, it was all about teamwork, fun, and showing that Polar Bear spirit! 🐻❄️
A huge congratulations to the seniors for taking home the dodgeball championship! 🏅👏 Way to go!
Great job to everyone who participated and made today such a fun and competitive event.

Three in one week!! Bristol has joined the sight word club for showing she can read 100 words. Great work!



Today was the end of the third quarter dodgeball tournament. Students who met all their goals during the third quarter earned the chance to participate, and what an exciting event it was!
Congratulations to the 6th grade for claiming the championship title! Let’s keep up the hard work, students! Keep striving for greatness!

Mrs. Mast's class is wrapping up their fossil unit in Science with some hands-on learning. Today they excavated fossils using small tools like a paleontologist. They each found a different fossil; some examples were shells, shark teeth, and sand dollars.
