On Thursday, May 27, the fourth graders participated in field day at Redar Park. The students played games and ate snacks at the playground and headed back to class just before the rain began to fall.

During the month of May, Mrs. Lam-Chi’s class displayed recycled creations in one of the hallway display cases. The class was given an assignment to create an invention or game out of recycled materials found in their homes. Many students made games such as foosball and marble runs, while others made objects such as guitars, piggy banks and backpacks. Every item was functional, and the students were more than happy to show off their hard work and craftsmanship.

Homan raised over $800 for Hannah’s Hope, a local charity dedicated to helping families with disabilities purchase necessary equipment in the community.

Homan raised over $6,500 for the American Heart Association by participating in the ‘Kids Heart Challenge.’ As a reward for their hard work, Mrs. Betsy Schultz, gym, hosted a glow in the dark party during gym class.

On Friday, Feb. 12, all classes celebrated Valentine’s day by hosting individual classroom parties. The parties varied by teacher, but each class was able to pass out Valentines to their classmates. Students were able to show off their creativity by making Valentine’s boxes to collect their cards. Some classes also participated in themed games, which was a great way for students to get out of their seats and have fun with their friends.

On Tuesday, Feb. 9, Mrs. Schultz’s gym class learned how to keep rhythm with the help of exercise balls, laundry baskets, and drumsticks with the help of Mrs. Puzey. Mrs. Schultz led the group at the front of the gym and taught them drumming patterns to play along with the music. It was a great way to incorporate exercise and music into an activity for everyone to enjoy.
