Kids Just Wanna Have Fun!

While the third graders have been busy learning all about immigration, migration, and pioneer settlements in the early United States, they have managed to take a few breaks.  In late September, Horizon Science Academy was fortunate enough to have a wonderful guest speaker who educated the students about anti-bullying in a fun and creative way.

Chris McBrien engaged the students through magic tricks, role-playing, and a unique style of puppeteering using HSA's very own Mr. Moeller.

Through this presentation using Mr. Moeller as a live puppet, Chris McBrien was able to teach students the lesson about how it is only acceptable to laugh WITH someone rather than AT someone.

The students thoroughly enjoyed seeing their favorite gym teacher acting silly and having some fun along with them.

At the end of September, students in room 177 celebrated their academic achievements, good attendance, and positive behaviors at the September P.R.I.D.E. party.  Students watched Ice Age The Meltdown.  Through this cleverly teacher-selected movie, students also made connections to forces of migration, changes in ecosystems, and needs of living things as they watched the movie.  While watching the movie, students were able to spend their hard earned P.R.I.D.E. points on Papa John's Pizza, popcorn, and juice.
