School is now in session! Josh Ward, a sixth grade student from Goshen Elementary School, pulls rope to the bell in the belfry of the school to start the school year. Goshen School is celebrating its 100th year of being a school counting both buildings called Goshen School.
The fifth graders at Goshen Elementary have been working hard for about three weeks on state projects. Students researched one of the fifty states to find out everything there is to know about that state. The students put together all their information on a poster showing graphs, pictures, statistics, brochures, and state symbols. The school had a Parade of States where all the students in the school were invited to come and find out everything the fifth graders learned. Students were excited to learn about the famous people and cool things each state has. Than
Recently, Goshen Elementary found out that Principal Jim Welburn will be transferring to Salem Elementary next year. Goshen wants to thank their principal for all his hard work and dedication over his four years of service.
Each year Goshen Elementary has an Education Fair where students can explore and learn more about concepts that interest them. They may participate in Language Arts, Science, Math or Social Studies activities. The students are required to make a visual, showing what they did for their project. They present their projects to judges and receive medals and collectors' coins. This is a great event. One that Goshen looks forward to each year. The overall winners this year were Logan Allinson and Lilianna Allred who have been participating in the Education Fair each year.
Goshen Elementary's first graders in Mrs. Dyreng's class recently did a unit on standard measurement. Students enjoyed measuring ingredients for a batch of no bake cookies. From this activity students learned about measuring capacity. They used a variety of measuring tools throughout their unit of study.
