"ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER?"

Mrs. Laros adds creativity, motivation, and a new experience to Friday mornings at Hal Henderson. She encourages students to watch the TV SHOW "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" On Friday morning after reading the Character Ed message, Mrs. Laros will challenge students with 5 questions from the Thursday night show. Through this experience, we hope students are encouraged to watch the show. Watching the show can be a fun, valuable learning experience!

All grades (teachers and students) seem to enjoy the Friday challenge.
Samira is in deep thought attempting to get all answers correct!

Students love the challenge knowing if they get ALL 5 questions correct, they are allowed to choose a prize from Mrs. Laros' treasure box.

Choosing a prize from the treasure box is a difficulty decision for some students.

Congratulations to all of our students who participated in this years local Science Fair. Everyone worked very hard on their projects! Three of our students came in second place in the group competition for their project titled "Ocean Floor." As you can see from the smile on their faces, they were very happy to represent Hal Henderson.

A very special person is kind enough to work with our students on a daily basis, and we truly appreciate Ms. Mann's mother, Ms. Liz, for her dedication in volunteering at our school. Ms. Liz has been volunteering for years and she is greatly appreciated. All students love "Ms. Liz"!
