Students in the Media Literacy class are learning about camera shots used in movies and how they help tell a story. Click this link to see our lead actor Ben demonstrating what a "push in" shot looks like. Movies use it to draw the audience closer to a character who has intense or conflicting emotions. It can have the effect of getting pulled into the thoughts of the character.

Cooper is the winner of a free 5-12 yearbook! After a competitive Spartan scavenger hunt, Cooper tied with the most found Spartan heads. To break the tie, he guessed the closest number of how many ads the Publications class sold.
Our third graders have been diving into the exciting world of the Iditarod! 🐾As part of the fun, they took on a reading challenge—matching the miles their musher travels with minutes spent reading (1 mile = 1 minute). 📚
They had an amazing time tracking progress, cheering on their mushers, and building their reading stamina along the way. Way to go, readers! 🎉

Mr. Melby's elementary music classes have been working on learning all of the words and melody to our school song this spring.
Today, all of the words to the song on the board were erased when Miss Danielle's Kindergarten class arrived for music. Someone took them and hid them all around the school!
The class went on a scavenger hunt to find where all of the words went. Luckily, we found them all and were able to practice the school song once again!
It was a beautiful day for our 5th and 6th graders to go skiing at Giants Ridge. They had a blast!!

Teacher's Secret Day of the Week Wednesday: Spartan Strong
March is "Music in Our Schools Month," which is an opportunity to highlight and celebrate the incredible things happening musically in our school.
During this month, our band students have been participating in a "March" Madness tournament. This is a bracket-style music listening tournament, featuring various marches from every corner of the band repertoire.
Each day, students listen to 2 different marches and vote on which march is their favorite of the two. Today was an upset, when the Official March of the United States, "Stars and Stripes Forever" received less votes than John William's "Imperial March" from the Star Wars Saga.
What is your favorite march you've listened to? Or, better yet, what is your favorite march you've played?
You can still purchase the yearbook!

Teacher's Secret Day of the Week Tuesday: Red for Education
Teacher's Secret Day of the Week Monday: Anything But A Cup!
Former country music radio personality and Nashville record label executive, Tom Baldrica, paid a visit to NK today to spend the morning with our 6th grade general music class, Symphonic Band and Spartan Band.
Tom began his musical career at Nashwauk-Keewatin Schools in 5th grade playing trumpet.
He shared about his time on the radio, his experiences in Nashville, and how the path to achieve your dreams in life starts by building connections with the people around you and being the best person you can be. He says if you do those two things, your dreams will come to you.
Thank you, Tom, for giving the music students at NK an exciting day, and for sharing your inspirational message and stories with us!
