Congratulations to Della Thomas in Mrs. Trnka's class for her amazing accomplishment! Winning the Grades 1-2 category in the Scott County 8th Annual 'Season's Greetings' Card Design Contest. Her creativity and talent have truly shined—well done, Della!

The New Prague Area Schools recently gathered for their annual holiday performances, and they were nothing short of spectacular. With the spirit of the season in full swing, these events were a delightful showcase of talent, creativity, and community spirit.

Congratulations to our December Students of the Month

A group of 5th graders presented to the New Prague Rotary Club sharing their experiences from BizTown - a recent field trip where they learned about financial literacy, economy and community, career readiness, and business management.

The annual "Fashion a Fish" project took place at Falcon Ridge recently. Working with ocean creatures and fish has been a tradition for science since at least 1989 for our 5th graders. This year about fifty 5th grade students worked with the science concept of adaptations to build not only a homemade fish but to help teach Kindergarten through 2nd grade students the idea that living things need to do things to survive. To do this they took 4 real fish and researched them. They then took things like their mouth and body shape and created an imaginary fish. With all of their research, they then wrote a speech and presented it on December 11th to our K-2 grades.

2nd graders in Mrs. Borwege's Class created their very own Thanksgiving Day Parade using Sphero robots! They used the Engineering Design Process to design a float to cover their Sphero. Second graders created a code that followed a Thanksgiving Day Parade Route. They learned about degrees in a circle, friction, mass, and speed, while working through complex problems.

Thank you to retired NPAS teacher, Mrs. Kim Borwege, for helping our second graders (and Mrs. Borwege) use the Spheros!
