FUSE

5th grade FUSE Writing students worked to create SUPER human/creatures as an inspiration for descriptive and creative writing. The students began this process by developing a character profile describing their creation’s traits. Students then artistically created their characters. In pairs, short story adventures were written combining each student’s creation. The classroom was full of excited authors and illustrators!

4th grade FUSE Social Studies and Writing students shared their persuasive letters written to Spanish viceroys.  The students took on the role of captured Natives being forced to work on plantations, in gold mines, or those being held inside of missions. In their letters they tried to convince the viceroys to free them by explaining their desire for freedom, and the important role they play in their tribes.

4th grade FUSE students in Mrs. Morgan’s class worked to “dissect” their vocabulary words using Frayer Models.  The students examined the meanings of their words by noting their definitions, synonyms, using the words in a sentence, and illustrating the meaning of each word. There were word parts everywhere!

“Long i” Task Cards in First Grade

Today, First grade used QR codes to increase student engagement while they were applying their phonics skills!

We placed the QR Codes around the room for a scavenger hunt! Then had the students use their iPad with the QR code reader to scan the code. Students then wrote the word that goes with the picture, or that best completes the sentence on their desks (rather than using paper to record their answers). Students were so excited about this activity!!

2nd Grade

Second graders were treated to a wonderful science lesson taught by Dr. Chad Brooks.  Dr. Brooks began his presentation by breaking down the word microbiologist so students could discover the meaning.  Students learned about different types of germs and where they can be found.  They also found out how easily germs can be spread by using powder to replicate germs and shaking hands with each other.  Dr. Brooks brought his special light so students could see the “germs”.

Dr. Chad Brooks is a microbiologist at Austin Peay State University, and father of Zoe and Max Brooks.

Students in 2nd grade created mock oil spills as they investigated the effects on water habitats.  Using motor oil, we caused our “oil spills” then dipped a variety of feathers in the water.  Students quickly realized how difficult the cleanup of the bodies of water was, and how damaging the oil was to the bird feathers.

3rd Grade

Third grade students have been exploring and learning about food chains and food webs.  One way students were assessed was in their creation of an individual “Food Chains” project.  Students demonstrated their knowledge of the content, individual creativity, and artistic ability through their project and class oral presentation.  Students also built and acted out food webs as a class.
