how do you spell success?
Could I have a definition for that word?
The annual Spelling Bee at Erin brought some pretty tough competition. Ten students from fourth to eighth grade vied for the title of Spelling Bee Champion, and they all spelled a few challenging words. Eighth grader Ginny N. finally won the Bee after spelling words such as waddle, neigh, parameters and ritziness. Seventh grader Petra L. came in second. Ginny will represent Erin at the Regional Spelling Bee in February in Fond du Lac. Congratulations to all of our spellers--they did a fine job in a setting that would make most people nervous.
Brrrrr!!
Mrs. Schultz's 4K class did a science experiment on what would happen to a wet shirt if we took it outside. After 5 minutes the shirt was frozen solid and as hard as ice. Now that is cold!
reading is fun
Annual Read-In offers reading adventures
Once again the seventh grade class had the opportunity to stay after school and experience a night of fun activities, including games, a scavenger hunt, pizza, book trivia, fort building, and reading. The evening provides many laughs, some quiet time, very loud activities, and simply a great time to come together with classmates in a different atmosphere than the usual classes. They build reading forts, settle down and enjoy some good reading material, as well as have time to run, bop each other on the head, solve puzzles, count fire extinguishers and eat. It's always an enjoyable time for the seventh graders.

stretching our thinking
How do you transform plastic grocery bags to a 
working rope bridge?
Just ask the eighth graders at Erin. Recently they used plastic grocery shopping bags to create ropes that, when tied together, created a bridge that was strong enough for them to walk across. Students needed to use problem-solving skills, engineering principles, and lots of teamwork to make it happen. Many thanks go to Fox Brothers' Piggly Wiggly Grocery Stores for donating the construction materials.
strengthening our skills
Erin Students tackle computer programming with “Hour of Code”
Last Friday middle school students learned a bit of computer programing during “Hour of Code 2014,” a worldwide program held each year. Code.org is designed to demystify computer science and show that anybody can learn the basics. Students played drag-and-drop programming games, featuring the characters from the movie "Frozen" and the Angry Birds game. Students who were more familiar with coding wrote code in JavaScript. Computer programming is becoming an essential skill that can be applied to any profession and also strengthens students' critical thinking skills.
