Josh Trower and Amy Torrence from The Southern Museum provided 1st grade students with a hands-on presentation of how trains use magnets. Students learned about how magnetic forces repel or attract, electromagnetism, and how our earth is a big magnet due to its iron core!
REAL WORLD CONNECTIONS:
Junk yards use electro-magnets to load freight trains. Students can see freight cars full of scrap metal going through Emerson.
The steam locomotive that was stolen during the Great Locomotive chase ran through Emerson. This train is on display at The Southern Museum.
Red Top Middle School's Honor Band and Honor Chorus visited 5th grade students yesterday to share information about joining band and chorus in middle school. It was great to see all the Emerson alumni participating!

Happy Nurse's Day, Nurse Cronin! We are so thankful and lucky to have you at Emerson!
Our 2nd graders have been patiently waiting for the arrival of our EES chicks. Our 2nd graders placed fertilized eggs from local farms in an incubator almost three weeks ago. Students have monitored the incubator making sure that the temperature is stable and the humidity level is high. Students have also used special lights to look inside the eggs to watch the chicks develop. Now the watch is on. The chicks should begin hatching sometime in the next few days. Stay tuned for daily updates.
Pre-K had a great time meeting virtually with a real Meteorologist as part of their STEM unit.
