Third Graders Review Nouns With a Thanksgiving Twist
Our third graders have been working hard on their parts of speech, and today they wrapped up their review of nouns in a festive way. Each student selected a favorite Thanksgiving-themed noun and decorated a colorful turkey feather to match. Then, classes played a lively game of “Pin the Noun on the Turkey,” placing their feathers onto a large classroom turkey display.
It was a fun, hands-on way to reinforce their learning and celebrate the season!

Today, Deputy Joseph, Hardin Northern’s School Resource Officer, spent time teaching our 5th graders about the “D.A.R.E.—Drug Abuse Resistance Education” program. Our students were fully engaged, asking thoughtful questions, and learning important lessons about making safe and responsible choices.
Thank you, Deputy Joseph, for keeping our kids informed and guiding them with the knowledge they need to make positive decisions. We appreciate all you do for our students and school.
Today our Hardin Northern Caps and Crayons program carried on the Thanksgiving celebration in the best way. Our seniors visited their kindergarten buddies and shared the book Turkey Trouble.🦃📖 After the story, everyone jumped into a fun craft where they helped their buddy disguise their turkey—just like in the book.
The groups then headed to lunch together, giving the seniors and kindergarteners time to sit, talk, and enjoy each other’s company. This program continues to be such a heartwarming tradition. One that strengthens connections, builds friendships, and reminds us what makes Hardin Northern so special!

The fourth grade was full of smiles today as they practiced some of the rules of using water color and discussed positive and negative space. The painted Gratitude Trees for the upcoming holiday. 🦃
Second grade had a sweet day! After reading The Humble Pie by Jory John, we explored what it means to be humble, identified problems and solutions, and wrapped it all up with an apple vs. pumpkin pie taste test. Students shared their opinions in writing — with lots of delicious inspiration!
Motivation Monday!
“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.”
You don’t need to be the most gifted-you just need to be the most determined. Bears, outwork your obstacles. Show up. Hustle. That effort will set you apart more than talent alone ever could. Have a great week!

The fourth graders had the pleasure of hosting Miss Lainey Thomas as a student observer for her Introduction to Education class offered right here at HN! The kids loved their time with Lainey and appreciated her help!


Throwback Thursday!
Today’s throwback takes us back to 1952, featuring the Orange Peel staff from the yearbook!
Their mission? To give readers accurate monthly coverage of school news and events. From sports and music to class activities and interviews with students and teachers. A true look at student journalism in action!
Back then, they were the Panthers for the Dola School, but today our Journalism class carries on the tradition of telling the Polar Bear story.
