Hardin Northern was honored to host our annual Veterans Day program today! It was wonderful to see so many local veterans join us as we came together to recognize and thank them for their service and sacrifice.

This year’s guest speaker was Tom Lehman, who has lived in Hardin County most of his life and proudly served in the United States Air Force as a medic from 1972–1976. Thank you, Tom, for taking the time to share your experiences and for being part of this special day as we honor our veterans.

A big thank-you to all of the students, the Hardin Northern Band, and our fourth graders for their part in today’s program. The students did a wonderful job helping us honor our veterans!

To all who have served and those currently serving, thank you for your courage, service, and sacrifice. We are grateful for you!

Full Day Preschool went on a nature walk through the woods. The kids created bags and put all the different items they found in them. Afterwards, the kids took what they found and made their own unique artwork.

Our Kindergarten STEM students celebrated Veterans Day with a little reading, creativity, and hands-on learning! 🇺🇸 After reading a story about Veterans Day, students created their own American flags using red and white paper strips in an AB pattern. They finished their flags by using glue dots to represent the stars. Along the way, they practiced patterning, following directions, and fine motor skills while learning about the meaning of Veterans Day. ❤️🤍💙

🚀 Balloon Rockets in Physical Science!

Physical Science students put Newton’s Laws of Motion into action today by building and testing balloon rockets! Students completed three trials with their original rockets, then added mass and performed three more trials. They collected data and completed calculations to explore the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.

Each trial gave students a closer look at how changing mass affects the mortion of their balloon rockets!

Our students are becoming robot coders in STEM! 🤖

Students were introduced to our Root Robots and learned the basics of how to make them move and follow directions using code. They had to create their own code, test it out, and go back to fix things when their robots didn't do what they expected.

Problem-solving was a BIG part of this lesson! Students worked together, shared ideas, helped one another, and learned that sometimes it takes a few tries to get things just right. They practiced teamwork, critical thinking, and perseverance while learning the basics of coding.

We are excited to see where their coding adventures take them next! 🤖💻
