Second Grade Measuring Mania
Second graders have been working on measurement during their current math topic. Real world measuring of objects' length and width has been a favorite. Students are using inches, feet, and yards, as well as metric units such as centimeters and meters. After practice with measuring items, second graders moved on to problem solving with length . This unit has been an activive and exciting part of our day!

The state legislature limited Indiana schools to 3 self-paced elearning days (like we are used to). After the 3rd day, all elearning days must include live learning, with teachers interacting with students via Google Meet. We have used one self-paced elearning day so far.
Earlier today, Angola High School was made aware of a possible threat made toward surrounding schools in the Steuben County area through social media. AHS School administration, the school resource officer, other Steuben County school administrators, along other local authorities immediately investigated the alleged threat. During the investigation school administration and law enforcement authorities learned that the alleged threat was not a viable threat and that the schools were safe and secure.
Further investigation later revealed that the threat did not originate from any students at Angola High School or MSD of Steuben County. AHS school administration has been notified that the origin of the threat has been located, and local law enforcement successfully addressed the situation.
Please know that all MSD of Steuben County Schools are safe, and we look forward to seeing everyone at school tomorrow morning.

Mrs. Pennington's 1st grade class participated in a mock election today!
November 1st and 2nd are full of celebrations in Mexico and other parts of Latin America. Miss Wilson’s classes joined in el Dia de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead) celebrations on Wednesday. We learned about why and how this holiday is celebrated all around the world. Each class created an ofrenda (altar/offering) using cempasuchitl (marigolds), papel picado, candles, favorite foods, water, salt, and their very own paper calaveras de azúcar (sugar skulls). The Day of the Dead sounds scary, but we learned that it is meant to be a celebration with food, music, and dancing for those of our friends and family who have died. So, if you have any questions about El Dia de los Muertos, ask Miss Wilson’s students!
This fog is not lifting! We will have an e-learning day today. This will be a traditional e-learning day, with assignments posted to Google Classroom. Teachers will be available for help and questions between 9:00 and 3:00.
We are on a two hour delay schedule today due to the dense fog in the area. Stay safe, and we'll see you soon! #Apride
Hendry Park Elementary would like to wish the Angola High School Band, Best of Luck at STATE!
