Mrs. Amundson’s Kindergarten class had a special guest, Darci, stop by their classroom this week. Kindergarten student and new ventriloquist, Hadley, and her puppet Darci showed the class how they can talk and sing. Darci asked all the students their names and she sang the ABC’s. They did such an awesome job 🤩 The kindergarteners told Darci that they can sing ABC song too and that they are learning to sing the ABC’s backwards! Mrs. Amundson said the next time Darci stops by, maybe she can show them how she can sing the ABC’s backwards like them 😊 Thanks for sharing your special talent and Darci with your class Hadley! You can listen to Darci sing on either our facebook or instagram pages.

Mrs. Wohlwend’s 3rd graders worked to put the TEAM in STEAM. Their mission was to place the cups into a pyramid by only touching the string. They had to use growth mindset to work together and overcome challenges!

Day #3 at The Henning School had some unforeseen excitement with our fire alarms being set off. This was not a scheduled drill that set our students and staff into emergency procedures while the Henning Fire Department assessed the situation. After 20 minutes the HFD gave the all clear to return to normal school activities.

We love this tradition in our small Prek-12 school. The Senior Class of 2023 welcomes in our Kindergarten Class of 2035. Have a Great Year!!! #GreatnessFromSmallBeginnings *Picture provided by the Citizen’s Advocate
