Our 6th graders have been learning about the Native American history and heritage connected to the land we call home! As part of their exploration, students discovered the Native American tribes and peoples connected to the Channahon area and put their learning together by creating collaborative jigsaw posters. It's a great opportunity to connect our local history to the bigger story of our nation's past!
Our 6th graders spent Monday learning about Veterans Day and the importance of honoring those who have served our country. Students put their appreciation into action by creating heartfelt thank-you cards featuring lists of appreciation, acrostic poems, original artwork, and free-verse poems.
Today, their cards were delivered to American Legion Marne Post 13! A little creativity and a lot of gratitude go a long way. Thank you once more to all who have served! ❤️🤍💙
❤️🖤 STAFF SPOTLIGHT! 🖤❤️
Today, we’re excited to introduce you to an amazing member of the Three Rivers School family! Meet Carrie Thompson, one of our classroom helpers! Get to know a little more about her beyond the school day! From favorite things and hobbies to fun facts and what she loves most about working at TRS, we’re excited to share the person behind the staff member. Thank you Mrs. Thompson for all that you do! 🖤❤️
We were blessed to honor dozens of heroic Veterans in all four of our schools! Wonderful job, students and staff!
Happy Veteran's Day! 🇺🇸♥️🤍💙
⏳ Our Students, Their Stories, Their Timelines! Our 6th graders spent the past couple of weeks learning the ins and outs of reading and creating timelines. For their final challenge, they put their skills to work creating timelines of their very own lives! After lots of hard work, creativity, and a trip down memory lane, their finished projects are now on display throughout the halls of TRS. Be sure to take a look if you're passing by! We think they did a fantastic job! 👏
🏺 History meets creativity in 6th Grade Social Studies! Our students have been exploring the Fertile Crescent and bringing history to life with some fun projects, including 3-D printed ziggurats and personalized locker name tags using the Phoenician Alphabet!
💡 Did you know? The Phoenicians developed an alphabet of 22 letters that helped influence the writing systems we still use today!

⚡ It's Electric! ⚡
Our 5th graders are becoming junior scientists as they test different materials to see which ones conduct electricity! 🔬💡 Through hands-on experimenting, students will make predictions, test their ideas, and discover which materials help electricity flow. Science is shocking—in the best way! 😊

Art Club - Just a reminder, Art Club will be held today after school in the art room until 3:45pm.
Soccer - The Channahon Soccer team completed their season on a high winning their last 2 games. Last Thursday the Indians played Coal City and won 3-1. The Indians ended their year well. Congratulations to the team that never quit, even when winning came so late in the season!
Wacky Fact Wednesday! - It's time for Wacky Fact Wednesday! Did you know crocodiles can’t stick out their tongues? Their tongues are held in place by a special membrane. So if you ever get into a staring contest with a crocodile, feel free to stick your tongue out at him. He literally can’t do anything about it. Well… except eat you. So maybe don’t do that.

Thursday Thought - In the United States, September 17 is a special day known as Constitution Day, commemorating (or remembering) the signing of the U.S. Constitution in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787. This week’s Thursday Thought connects yesterday’s Crew celebration with the first few words of the Constitution: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union…”
Those words remind us that building something great takes everyone working together and doing their part to make their community better. So, what if we changed those famous words to “We the People of TRS…”? What can YOU do today to help make our school community “more perfect” than it was yesterday?
Student Council - Attention 6th grade student council members who turned in an application to Mrs. Gaffino. A reminder that our first meeting will be held today in Ms. Garcia’s room until 3:45. Please make sure you bring your Chromebook. Thanks!
