Hatching chicks has been part of the second-grade science curriculum for nearly 30 years. Retired teacher, Carole Martens, initially got the ball rolling with a handmade incubator and brooder. Before the current materials used today, teachers marked the eggs with X’s and O’s and turned them twice a day to replicate the natural ‘turning’ the hen would do. Colleague Brenda Cronk continued the tradition and paved the way for what happens each spring in every Amery Grade 2, Montessori, and PBL classroom. There are now four incubators with automatic turners, heat lamps, official watering and feeding tools, and sawdust shavings from Mr. Josh Ganje’s high school wood shop. The classes rotate the hatching experience during the months of April and May. It has grown into a real community effort as eggs are offered from neighbors, families of students, and staff.
The chick unit falls under the science standard of life science. Students engage in a variety of activities that build their understanding of the stages of chick development and conditions necessary for development to happen. This three-week unit integrates science with reading, writing, and math skills. Students are engaged in every way as they read nonfiction and fiction, journal, graph, observe, and record data.
Real Life: Not all endings are happy ones. Students can learn the tough lessons of life that not every chick develops completely. Some chicks require assistance out of the shells while others stop developing along the way for no true understanding of why.
Anticipation & Excitement: The entire second grade hallway is buzzing with excitement when it’s “hatch day.” Conversations are quickly centered on how many chicks each classroom has, creative names for these cute new buddies, and encouragement to neighboring classmates.
The Final Step: At the end of the incubating unit, families are invited to take some of the chicks home. This experience has been the kick-off to many families starting to raise chickens.
• Only fertilized eggs that are warmed will develop into chicks.
• Chicks begin as an embryo.
• The heartbeat begins after 48 hours.
• Eggs are candled on the 6th or 7th day. The chick’s eye and veins can be seen.
• It takes 21 days for chicks to hatch.
• From the earliest sign of hatching, chirps can be heard from inside the egg.
• Chicks can take eight to twelve hours to hatch once the first crack is made.
Photos by Frank Novak“I love to see the anticipation from the very beginning. Even though they can’t see what’s happening on the inside, they check on them each day in the incubator and trust something will happen after 21 days!” ~Mrs.
Wentz“It is always so fun to see how much the chicks grow and change from the time they hatch, to when they go to their forever homes just a few days later! They become part of our class family for the short time they are here!” ~Mrs.
Komanec
“Our 2nd graders get to experience a complete life cycle! That’s amazing! The excitement and anticipation over those 21 days of learning is a pleasure for everyone. Seeing the chicks hatch and grow for a few days is by far the reward of it all!” ~Mrs. Halverson

Our 4th grade teachers have a very good reason to be happy. A $10,000 reason! They were awarded a Fund for Teachers grant that will send them to Alaska this summer to expand their knowledge of dogsledding, the Iditarod, and glaciers. They will experience the Alaskan culture, hike on a glacier, view Mt. Denali and other amazing landforms, and experience dryland
Each year, fourth grade studies the famous Iditarod dogsled race by keeping track of mushers at race checkpoints. They research how mushers and sled dogs are chosen and trained, the special equipment used, and the clothing that is needed. They learn about the conditions and terrain of the trail and how the route changes every other year. This Alaskan trip will allow teachers to dive deeper into the content, make connections to the Iditarod, and lead to a deeper understanding for students.
The teachers will attend the Salmon Berry Dryland Dog Sledding Experience where they will view Mt. Denali, the tallest peak in North America. After taking in some of the beautiful landforms, they will visit the homestead of Dallas Seavey, a five-time Iditarod Champion and former star of National Geographic’s Ultimate Survival Alaska! They will also meet his professional Iditarod mushers/handlers and his champion Alaskan Huskies. Sharing a wheeled dog chariot, the teachers will guide a dog team into the groomed trails of Talkeetna’s boreal forest. For the first half of the ride, one partner will guide the four-legged team into the forest, watching and listening for local wildlife. Partners will alternate from standing to riding. The final half of mushing will duplicate the Iditarod trail where they will visit a replica of an official Iditarod checkpoint and cross the Burled
In Anchorage they hope to connect with teachers and librarians for firsthand knowledge about Alaskan school curriculum, Alaskan school culture, and hopefully find classroom teachers willing to participate in a student pen pal program. In Wasilla they will visit the Iditarod Trail Headquarters Museum.
Their desire is to use this professional development to not just adapt lessons, but to inspire and encourage students to embrace learning and experiences in different ways. They want students to know that it is important to step out of their comfort zone, go places, meet new people, and have experiences that change thinking.
Fund for Teachers has been awarding grants since 2001, allowing teachers to dream big and design their own professional development.
OLIVIA PETERS
I am most excited about all the new experiences. We will be able to explore a portion of Alaska each day as there will be over 20 hours of daylight. Another exciting thing will be meeting local people and talking with them. I am looking forward to seeing the wildlife and the beautiful scenery throughout the state.
STEPHANIE AMANS
I am excited to see where part of the Iditarod takes place, meet actual finishers of The Great Race, and visit their kennels to see what it takes to raise and train a champion dog sled team. I can’t wait to experience Alaskan culture, meet new people, make new friends, and connect with teachers and students.
LINDSAY BRUDER
I am thrilled to see what Alaska has to offer. I have taught so much about the Ice Age and glaciers, and now to see one and hike on it will be such an amazing experience. I am excited to share our firsthand experiences of dog sledding, talk with the different mushers, and see their kennels. The Alaskan culture and landscape are of interest to me, so being engulfed in it will be wonderful. We will gain knowledge, experiences, and connections that we can share with our amazing students in Amery!
ANDY WOLF
I am excited for our dog sled experience. I have heard how the landscape of Alaska is amazing, and I can’t wait to take it all in, not to mention all the wildlife. I’ve never been on a glacier before, so the glacier hike will be an awesome experience.
4th Grade teachers heading to Alaska include Lindsay Bruder, Olivia Peters, Stephanie Amans, and Andy Wolf
Future Warriors attended their first official school event on May 12 . . . 4K Orientation! Families attending 4K Orientation with their soon-to-be Warriors learned about Amery’s play-based Legacy 4K program and multi-age Children’s House Montessori program. Children met 4K teachers, met some of their new 4K friends, spent time in their future 4K classrooms, and families were given the opportunity to meet with school and local organizations offering resources.
Amery offers all day, every day 4K at Lien Elementary School led by a team of teachers with over 75 years of combined teaching experience.
The Amery 4K Legacy program believes that children learn best through child-led, investigative play. Play familiarizes children with the world around them while exploring and testing their limitations. The 4K child is provided with an educationally sound program in an atmosphere of warmth, friendliness, and freedom where each child is accepted as an individual. Teachers plan a program that is developmentally appropriate focusing on the “whole child” in terms of his/her social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development.
Amery Children’s House Montessori is a multi-age 4K & Kindergarten program providing an innovative education built on the Montessori philosophy that fosters curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking skills. Within this community of learners, teachers follow a student’s individual needs to achieve personal academic excellence and to become life-long learners who respect themselves, others, and their environment.

The 7th grade Civics class taught by Mr. Pettersen concludes their unit on the judicial branch by participating in a mock trial. Each student participates by role playing as a judge, bailiff, witness, defendant, plaintiff, attorney, or member of the jury. The goal is to provide a real-world look into a trial by focusing on the steps that go into holding a trial and how the jury is able to reach a verdict.
This year, two students acted as attorneys in a civil lawsuit where a contractor had a low-priced porch built for an elderly couple. The porch succumbed to the weight of a teenage shoving match involving the couple’s grandson. The students in the jury must decide if the porch failed because of the contractor’s negligence or the teenage shoving match.

The Class of 2023 received a total of $180,325 in scholarship awards.
It’s nearly marching season, and the Amery Cadet and High School bands are busy preparing. Members of each band memorize two songs as part of their “marching sequence.” Percussionists also learn cadences that are played between the two songs, and members of the color guard memorize the sequence with flags.
In 6th grade, band students first learn the fundamentals of marching such as staying in line and in step, whistle commands, and proper horn posture. In mid-May, the 6th grade band combines with the 7th and 8th grade Cadet Band to march and perform together as one large ensemble at the Amery Memorial Day program. After Memorial Day, the 8th graders move on to join the high school band.
Marching band is a unique and rewarding musical performance that teaches teamwork, discipline, leadership, and commitment. When you attend a parade this summer or fall, be sure to cheer and make some noise when the Warrior bands pass by!

In 6th grade English, all students recently finished a Literature Circle unit where they read books with a group of peers and discussed their books to increase their discussion and reading comprehension skills. When the unit was over, students were given the opportunity to participate in an optional book club during lunch.
Students who are taking advantage of the opportunity select their own books, work together to create a schedule for reading, read independently, and meet every week to discuss their books. There are seven different groups with a total of twenty-five students participating in the discussions. Those who finish the challenge will be invited to enjoy a pizza party picnic!
It is rewarding to listen to them having fun reading a book with friends and applying the skills they have been working on in class.

The 35 acres purchased for hands-on agriculture education and now referred to as The F.A.R.M. is beginning to take shape!
An orchard has been started, corn will be planted for harvest and to serve as a Corn Maze for FFA fundraising, honeybee hives have been established, and Kindergarten students are once again planting trees to harvest as their own Christmas trees when they are in high school. AHS agriculture teacher Mr. Meyer has been busy as his dream of a school farm becomes a reality.
To learn more about The F.A.R.M., future plans, the dream, and how you can help, visit the High School page of the School District of Amery website or scan the QR code.
• To Develop a Farm-to-Table Program and a Farm-to-School Program! Educate our students about where their food comes from and help our local farmers sell their products.
• To allow students an avenue to explore career opportunities in the agriculture field as well as the trades in all the career and technology areas.
• To provide “experiential learning” opportunities at the highest level.
• To include all the CTE areas!
• To provide even more reasons why Amery is a “Destination” for families to grow and prosper.
• Part 1 Farm-to-Table Program:
• Teach every grade in the school district about agriculture and where their food comes from.
• Part 2 Farm-to-School Program:
• Bring our local farms into our school program including the school lunch program and school store.
• Sell local farm products to potentially include fruit, vegetables, honey, maple syrup, beef, pork, lamb, and goat meat.
• Purchase all crops and animals from local farms.
AHS Senior Emma Johnson has been overseeing the honeybee project.
Highlighted in this edition of the School District of Amery newsletter are the graduating class of 2023 and the staff who are retiring at the end of this school year. For our graduates, this spring marks the end of one chapter of their lives and the beginning of a bright, new chapter of life beyond high school. The sky is the limit for every graduate. They can achieve whatever they dream if they set themselves upon the path of
Interstate State Park, the Senior Walk, and the graduation ceremony bring to a beautiful finality the days of being a school-age kid. It is always with mixed emotions that we celebrate our seniors. They are surrounded by their great accomplishments, grateful for the memories they have created in Amery, and brimming with excitement. At the same time, they are often sad because something terrific is in the past. Though as Dr. Seuss said, “Don’t be sad because it is over. Be happy because it happened!” Please remember that no matter where our seniors go, and no matter what greatness they achieve . . . they are proudly ours, always and forever.
Congratulations to the Amery High School Class of 2023.
At the end of each school year, the School District of Amery loses a few of our best to retirement. We are celebrating the careers of Janice Berry, Terri Cran, Eileen Flatten, Deanna Johnson, Louann Pechacek, and Pam Robarge. These educators, collectively, have spent over 160 years as employees in the School District of Amery. On behalf of the students and staff of the district, we thank each of these individuals for their years of committed service to the school district, our young Warriors, and the Amery community. Their retirements will mark the wonderful culmination of years of selfless service to others. After time with thousands of kids, working countless hours, attendance at too many events to count, and stories upon stories, our retirees are moving on to other life pursuits. Congratulations and we wish you well!
As we move through the last remaining days of the school year 2022-2023, we look forward to a summer filled with referendum work designed to improve learning, safety, and opportunity throughout the district. Significant upgrades are already occurring to the mechanical systems of the high school, and the beginnings of improved safety features will soon begin at the elementary. Please stay tuned for updates from the district, in the Amery Free Press, and on our website and social media. It is an exciting time for education in Amery. We are committed to keeping you up to date with changes in our buildings and on our campus. Simply reach out if you have any questions.
Due to construction, the first official day of school for all Amery students in Kindergarten through Grade 12 will be Monday, August 28. All 4K students will begin on Thursday, August 31. As a result of the early start, the last school day of the 2023-2024 school year will be Friday, May 24, 2024. To view the online district calendar of important dates and events, and to download a one-page PDF of the schoolyear calendar, visit the Calendar page of the school district website: www.amerysd.k12.wi.us or scan the QR code.
