5TH GRADE BRIDGE BUILDING
The Douglas County Extension Office came to Neihardt Elementary to introduce our 5th grade students about Bridges and Structures. Over the three visits from the extension office, the students work together to build a truss bridge that is big enough for students to crawl across, they explore structures and bridge design using K'Nex and lastley they construct their own bridges which are weight tested. On Thursday, February 29th, it was weight testing day.
The top 5 bridges weight tested at: Annabelle B - 159 lbs, Annika V - 175 lbs, Weston H - 230 lbs, Finn Z - 235 lbs, and Catelynn R - 314 lbs.

3RD - 5TH GRADE PARENT SURVEY FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
We are committed to providing your child with the best possible educational experiences at the Nebraska Department of Education. As part of our assessment process, students in grades 3-8 take statewide assessments in the content areas of English language arts, mathematics, and science each year. Following the assessments, you receive an individual student report detailing your child’s performance from your child’s school. Your feedback is essential in helping us enhance the information provided in these reports to better support your child’s academic journey. We kindly ask for your insights and suggestions to improve the clarity and usefulness of the reports you receive. Thank you for your time and contributions.
