The 5th-graders at E.B. Holman have been enjoying learning about rocks and minerals through the use of many different resources this year in and out of the classroom. They have been able to hold, observe, and classify rocks/minerals through an in-class collection and will have the opportunity this week to dig for fossils from North Carolina in their own individual kits and compare their finds to ones they have found in or around Lake Superior. Additionally, students were able to go on a field trip to the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum at Michigan Tech to have the opportunity to see approximately 4,000 specimens from around the world!
Good Luck to our Cross Country Runners!! Go WildCats!

Mr. Kulju's class celebrated Johnny Appleseed Day on September 26th. Along with great books and reading activities, the class had the opportunity to taste test different apples and rank them in order by taste. They worked as a class to graph the results. Students also made beautiful lifecycle diagrams for apple trees. In addition, students had the opportunity to peel and slice apples that were then cooked down and turned into delicious applesauce. We had wonderful parent volunteers that assisted in the classroom during this fun and educational activity.

Mrs. Stone's third grade class participates in a STEM activity every Friday. This week, students used 3Dux cardboard connectors to build a house that had a window sill that could hold a pretend pie. Mrs. Stone based this activity on a story the class read this week in their language arts class titled, "The Trial of Cardigan Jones." The kids got really creative as they figured out how to use the different angles and made all kinds of accessories that also tied into the story. Students came up with some amazing creations!

Our team made a strong showing once again with Bentley and Liam Kinnunen taking 4th and 5th place. Henry Johnson came in a short time later in 25th place. The Niska sisters took on a crowded field as well with Sela taking 1st place and Meren 9th. Way to push through the hot conditions and hilly terrain, Wildcats!
