Today, our 4th grade crew jumped right into the excitement of the Artemis II mission launch and turned that inspiration into hands-on learning! 🚀
Using balloons, cardboard tubes, popsicle sticks, cotton balls, and tape, students designed and built their own versions of the Artemis rocket. To make it even more fun, their spacecraft were “manned” by some familiar faces—George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Thomas Jefferson even joined the mission!
The room was filled with creativity, problem-solving, and lots of laughter as students tested ideas and brought their designs to life. It was one of those days where learning felt like an adventure.
Who knows—we may have just sparked the next generation of aeronautical engineers right here at Hobe Sound Elementary!
Such a great day of learning and fun all around.

🚂✨ Learning came to life for our 4th Grade Eagles at Hobe Sound Elementary! ✨🚂
Our students enjoyed an exciting and educational visit from guest speaker Mr. Harrington of the local Railroad Club!
Through this engaging presentation, students explored the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad 🇺🇸 and its role in shaping the growth of our country. They also deepened their understanding of the contributions of Chinese immigrants, the unfair treatment they faced, and the impact on Native American communities.
This meaningful experience connected directly to learning in our Benchmark reading curriculum 📚, helping students make real-world connections and strengthen their understanding.
Our Eagles came prepared with thoughtful questions and actively participated in rich discussions that showcased their curiosity, critical thinking, and love of learning! 🦅💭
Thank you, Mr. Harrington, for inspiring our students and making history come alive!
