Fun with Play-Doh Math!

Our first graders are having fun while practicing their addition facts with Play-Doh! 🤗 Using hands-on learning makes math even more exciting as students create, count, and solve addition problems. 🔢✨

Who knew practicing math facts could be so much fun? Great job, first graders! 👏💙

☀️🔥 Science + S’mores = a pretty sweet way to learn! 🍫
Mrs. Shubert’s 5th graders took advantage of these hot days to dive into physical changes in matter!
Students designed and built their own thermal conductors, then put their creations to the test by using the heat of the sun to make delicious s’mores! ☀️🔥🍪
Who says science can’t be fun (and tasty)? These 5th graders are learning that the best experiments are the ones you get to eat! 😋
Great job, Mrs. Shubert’s class, for turning a hot day into a hands-on science adventure! 👏

Independence Day is coming to Mid-Del!

Tomorrow, Friday, August 21, is the LAST DAY parents and guardians may walk their elementary students to class.

Then, on Monday, August 24, Independence Day begins! Our students will take a big step by walking to their classrooms independently, building confidence and responsibility along the way.

Don’t worry, our amazing staff will be throughout the building ready to welcome, supervise, and help students every step of the way.

We’re excited to celebrate this milestone with our students! Thank you, families, for helping us encourage confident, independent learners.

🐄Thank You, Southwest Dairy Farmers! 🥛

A big thank you to Southwest Dairy Farmers for coming to Barnes today and helping make the last day of school even more memorable! Our Bluejays had such a great time and were excited to see a live cow right here at school!

Students learned all about the characteristics and anatomy of dairy cows, the importance of dairy foods for good health, the modern milking process, and modern environmental and food safety practices. One of the highlights of the day was getting to watch a live milking demonstration!

Thank you for providing such a fun and educational experience for our Bluejays. It was a great way to end the school year with learning and excitement!

We were also proud to honor our Lifetime Bluejays — students who have been part of the Barnes family since PreK and have grown with us through their elementary journey. What a special way to celebrate the memories and years they’ve spent at Barnes! 🐦💙
We are so proud of each and every one of our 5th graders and cannot wait to see all they accomplish in middle school and beyond! 🎓💛
