📢 Exciting News from First Grade! 🚀
On Friday, our first graders had some special visitors from Shive-Hattery, an architecture and engineering firm in West Des Moines! Five incredible professionals—a civil engineer, an interior designer, a landscape architect, an environmental scientist, and another civil engineer—joined us to talk about problem-solving in the real world.
Students got a firsthand look at how projects begin, brainstormed solutions to challenges, and then saw how the experts tackled them using drone footage, 3D models, and real-world examples! It was an amazing way to wrap up our science unit on engineering and problem-solving skills.
A big thank you to Shive-Hattery for sharing their time and expertise! If you're sharing photos, please tag @Shive-Hattery on Facebook—they’d love to see and share your posts!
Fun fact: One of the civil engineers, Michael Otten, is Mrs. Otten's husband!
Each morning, a 3rd-grade student is chosen to read the morning announcements and lead the entire building in the Pledge of Allegiance! 🇺🇸✨
They also get to share a joke of the day—and it never fails to make Mr. Hinrichs laugh! 😆👏
It’s a great way to start the day with leadership, confidence, and a little bit of fun! 🎤📚
