Here are some updates from the Ag room. Intro to Ag has been learning about poultry and completed two labs. One lab tested the strength of the egg shell by stacking books on top of them. The second lab allowed the students to determine the size of eggs by using the weight of the egg.
Fish and Wildlife also learned how to score antlers and are moving into their wildlife identification unit.

4th graders got to create a wigwam or longhouse to learn more about the different American Indian Nations of Wisconsin. They then researched some other interesting facts about 1 of our 11 current American Indian tribes in our state. A lot of their projects were even made similar to how they were made many years ago. Enjoy their creative creations!!!

The United States History I students studied the Salem Witch Trials from the true court case of Sarah Cloyce, who was accused of being a witch as were her two sisters. Students created headstones for those who had been denied a proper burial from being accused of being a witch. Students used the real names, added in a saying and image that represented that person. The images show the creativity of the sophomores.

As we celebrate kindness week at AES, we took some time to share kindness beyond our school walls and into the Athens community! The 3rd grade students wrote thank you notes and kind messages to share their appreciation with Forward Bank and R & J Cafe. We appreciate all you do to support our students, schools, and community! Also, thank you for sharing kindness back to our students with suckers and hot chocolate. They all had big and happy smiles in appreciation of it! 🤩
Wellness Wednesday: A Good Night’s Sleep
The holiday season is in full swing and daylight savings had us all fall back an hour. It is important to remember the benefits of a good night’s sleep with the hustle and bustle this time of year. Sleep allows the body and mind to repair and be fit and ready for the day.
Some tips to help get a good night’s sleep:
-Avoid caffeine in the afternoon
-Wind down with calming activities (without a screen)
-Stick to a sleep schedule

The Girls in Tech Ed class have been working on these tables for a majority of the quarter. They had to cut, weld, grind, and paint the metal. From there they had to glue, cut and finish the wood top insert. All their hard work has paid off!
