Recognized for exhibiting the self-direct trait last month were: 2nd Grade -- Hazel McIntosh; 3rd Grade -- Averie Bavousett; 4th Grade -- Kree Kajs; and 5th Grade -- Parker Ford. Congratulations!! Keep up the great work!!
Last Thursday, our 4th grade students conducted the Runaway Pumpkin STEM Investigation in the gym. The objective of the project was for a student to roll a pumpkin down the slide with a enough force for it to roll into the box held by their partner. The activity helps extend the students' knowledge of force, motion, friction, and gravity.
Here is the VISD cafeteria menu for November. Remember, all Vernon ISD students have the opportunity to receive a free breakfast and a free lunch.

Students in Mrs. Inman's 4th grade Social Studies class wrapped up their project on Native Americans Friday by presenting the dioramas they made and giving a presentation to their class on the tribe they researched. Each student researched an Indian tribe native to Texas. In their research, they answered questions such as what area of Texas the tribe lived in; what tools the tribe used; what they wore; what they ate; and what type of structures they live in.
I am sorry it is late notice but I wanted to let you know my classes are presenting their indian dioramas today from 9:45-11:35 and 1:45-3:35 if you have some time to come snap some pictures. Again I am so sorry this is late notice.
