Mrs. Molchen

We were soooooo excited to send-off the KHS basketball team as they were traveling to Dayton for the Final Four... Go Hornets!!!!!!!

We changed up our Friday rhythm to honor our KHS boys' basketball team...Go Hornets!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona duit! [Law FAY-leh PAW-drig SUN-uh gwitch] We were very unlucky in finding gold coins around KES (0), BUT we all had fun graphing data about "Magic Treasures" cereal.

3rd grade is celebrating the end of our CKLA unit about Native American cultures! Students were OPEN-MINDED as they began to design & construct replicas of dwellings: igloos, wigwams, teepes and Pueblo. They'll add finishing touches tomorrow...

Congratulations to our monthly VIP winners. They are being recognized for always being hardworking, open minded, respectful, noble, engaged, and trustworthy! I’m so proud of them! #Hornetpride

Today, 3rd graders were so ENGAGED in creating pillbug terrariums with Mrs. Farnsworth and Ms. Ross from the Holden Arboretum! It's such an amazing hands-on project that naturally ties together our studies of ecosystems and the water cycle... We hope families will enjoy them!

3rd graders are "attending to precision" as they plot improper fractions on number lines.

3rd graders were ENGAGED as they talked with Mr. Sonnie from Crossroads about limiting screen time AND protecting themselves when playing games online.

As we wrapped-up our study of energy, these 3rd graders applied what they learned about electrical circuits to reassemble flashlights.

These Hornets just won our class Teamwork Challenge! Our lunch bunch was made sweeter with some pink sprinkled donuts from Maggie's.

Hooray for Esme! facebook.com/share/1KvJd3LJ…

Today, 3rd grade classes were ENGAGED in building "snow pals" and observing the effects of heat over 6 hours. (Evaporation will be slooooow and far less fun for us.) Start: 25.5 cm and 2 kg 16g snow End: 4 cm and 950 mL water

Congratulations to members of our 3rd grade NOETIC Math Team! They were so OPEN-MINDED in the online competition in November, and several earned National Honorable Mention. Now, we're practicing with a few new members to grow our problem-solving skills for the April contest...

Congratulations to our January VIPs! They are always demonstrating the Hornet Traits!#Hornetpride

These Hornets were so ENGAGED in playing "Target 1000"...Adding in a little boys vs girls competition elevated their motivation to calculate accurately!

We were lucky to win a Marco's Pizza party! Back in the fall, after KES students were ENGAGED in decorating boxes, many families ordered pizzas to fill them. Some of the proceeds came back to the NOBLE Kirtland PTA.

We're starting 2026 off right! After yesterday's math lesson, we took a movement break in the wellness room.

So festive here at KES today...BUT a Grinch (or 2!?!) is prowling around!

3rd grade brothers and sisters were proud of 5th grade siblings who acted in The Christmas Carol!!!
