4th grade is learning about energy. They spent time creating circuit boards and lighting an LED light using copper, zinc, and potatoes.
The Kindergarten classes enjoyed watching the classic movie “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” and then sharing a feast of popcorn, pretzels, toast and jelly beans just like the Peanuts characters!

Happy National Rural Healthcare month to everyone in our community that works to ensure we are all healthy!
Students in Mrs. Gonsoir's Chemistry class used ion manipulatives to learn how to form, write, and name ionic compounds. Students enjoyed the hands-on approach rather than drill and practice worksheets!

The Introduction to Sports Medicine class welcomed students in 3rd and 4th grade over to the arena today to teach them about the importance of physical activity and different things they can do to be physically active.
The older students might have had just as much fun as the younger students!

🌟We are trying something new this year by having a Groton Tiger vs Tiger Wrestling Scrimmage for the public. It’s a chance for the public to have an early sneak peak at the wrestlers and a chance for the wrestlers to get a match-like competition with the new rules. The kids will be divided up into two teams where they will compete.
🤼This is free for anyone to attend, but we only ask that people in attendance bring packages of Gatorade, Powerade, water, electrolyte packets, or granola bars all which will be used by the wrestlers at various tournaments throughout the season.
🥣We will also be serving a free will donation chili feed. The chili will be served starting at 5 and the wrestling begins at 6. This all takes place in the old gym on Tuesday, November 26.
Please share with friends and family. Hope to see you all there!🐯
Mrs. Smith's 3rd grade students were solving area problems as surgeons on the different organs of the body. Do we have future doctors or mathematicians here at Groton Area Elementary???

This event is open to the public, and we look forward to seeing you on Monday, November 25th at 7:00PM in the High School Old Gym!
