Bernita Hughes Elementary students have been learning in unique ways!

In Mrs. Carolyn Johnson's class, students compared and contrasted characters from their weekly story using hula hoops as their Venn diagrams!

Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Murray's classes for Johnny Appleseed day!

Fifth graders recently had the opportunity to write heartfelt, friendly letters to veterans who will fly to Washington, D.C., on a Freedom Flight, where veterans visit memorials and monuments built in honor of their military service.



As students wrote, they discussed what freedom means, the sacrifices our veterans have made, and the importance of taking time to recognize those who have served our country.



Students are learning not only how to use written expression, but also how to show gratitude, respect, kindness, and appreciation for others.

Last week's Warriors Way Winners were Parker Lack, Averyana Patterson, Isabella Westbrook, Chevelle Davis, and Lane Fisher. Way to go!

Our Adair Academic Team stepped into the spotlight at RSU to compete on I Want Answers! They went head-to-head with a veteran Verdigris squad and gave an outstanding performance. Want to see how it ended? Mark your calendars for October 10th and tune in to RSU TV!

Physical Science students took on an engineering challenge this week by building rubber band rockets! Given only materials and pictures, and absolutely no instructions, they put their critical thinking skills to the test and did a fantastic job figuring it out. The class used their custom rockets to study speed, and next up, they’ll be using them to explore Newton’s Laws of Motion!

The Adair FCCLA Officer team attended the NE region LEAD conference in Glenpool last week. Workshops were led by Lily Geisler and Ava Asbury who are currently serving as District officers. Addison Swift, Oklahoma FCCLA 1st Vice President also led the meeting.

Mrs. Angela Kirk's Physics & Chemistry students have been putting learning into action!

Physics students are beginning their lesson on free fall, so as an introduction they made a device to protect an egg from forces at the end of free fall! There were so many good ideas!

Chemistry students used a spectroscope in lab. A spectroscope separates colors of light into the different wavelengths to determine the chemical makeup of a light source. They saw different gasses lit up to see what colors they emitted.

At APS, students learn by putting knowledge into practice! #HomeofChampions

Our freshman class put their critical thinking and problem-solving skills to the test by building custom robot coloring machines. Challenged to construct their robots using only a target picture and a set of materials, the students tackled the project with impressive creativity, collaboration, and determination. Outstanding work by all of our freshmen!
