Fisher CUSD #1

5th grade wrapped up its Hatchet read aloud with a field trip to Homer Lake! 📖 We learned survival skills that Brian, the book's main character, would have used during his time in the Canadian wilderness: shelter building, navigating with a compass, and using flint and steel to make sparks! It was a beautiful day to learn and hike! ☀️

80 years of Fisher Football shirts have been delivered and can be picked up at the game tonight.

🚒🔥 Learning, laughing, and getting hands-on with fire safety! Our field trip to the Sangamon Valley Fire District was full of fun and exciting experiences. From learning important fire safety tips to trying out hands-on activities, our students had a blast learning from our local firefighters! 👩‍🚒🧯 A big thank you to the Sangamon Valley Fire Department for showing us how to stay safe while making learning so much fun! 🚒✨ #FieldTripFun #FireSafety #HandsOnLearning #CommunityHelpers #FutureFirefighters

What better way to Test a Line of Best Fit than with Barbie bungee jumping?

Our Honors Algebra II students dropped Barbie using one to five rubber bands, recorded the results, and used their data to create an equation. Then came the big question: How many rubber bands would Barbie need for a jump from the back of the bleachers? Math in action! 🧡🖤
