The Global Read Aloud
Mrs. Abernethy's Mighty Moose are participating in The Global Read Aloud 2016. In short, the Global Read Aloud is a program where thousands of teachers and students from around the world are reading aloud the same novel for six weeks. There are five different books to choose from based on the students' ages and interest. To learn more about it, go to this link: http://theglobalreadaloud.com/about-the-gra/faq/ or watch the video below:

Veteran's Day
Many schools are closed on Veteran's Day, but we are one of the lucky ones. Our students come to school, giving us the opportunity to teach them the real meaning of the day while being able to honor local veterans. Watch the videos below to see some highlights of the program our music teacher, Mrs. Volek, put together with the students.

Our Class Election
While the country focused on a national election, we were focused on our class election. After a primary, two debates and several speeches, our two candidates, Myles and Tori, were ready for one last pitch to the class.

SCIENCE NOTE Poetry
Note from the teacher: While cleaning up files on my computer, I came across these notes developed by students in class. If you remove the names, it actually reads like science poetry! Of course, I wouldn't remove the names, though, because those kids deserve the right to see their names up on the blog! They all had something smart to say, but together their brilliance is invincible!
