Harrisburg R-VIII School District

TEACHER FEATURE TUESDAY: This week’s featured teacher is Mrs. Kelley Burt. Mrs. Burt has been an educator for 20 years and has spent 19 of those years teaching 4th grade at Harrisburg Elementary. Mrs. Burt lends her considerable expertise to numerous building and district committees including the 3rd-5th Grade Professional Learning Committee, Elementary Literacy Committee, CTA Calendar Committee, and the Science Fun Night Planning Committee. Mrs. Corrine Hill shared the following about her partner teacher: “I went from being Mrs. Burt’s student teacher to her partner teacher and wouldn’t want it any other way! We’ve been through a total of 13 great years together, learning from one another and growing as teachers and as friends. We balance each other out perfectly and are such a strong team! Mrs. Burt cares for each of her students deeply and instills great intrinsic values to each student. I’m so lucky to have her next door as a teammate and friend!” Thank you, Mrs. Burt, for the many ways that you support and encourage your students and colleagues each and every day. #BulldawgPride

Students in Dr. Weather’s Spanish 2 classes spent January and February creating original Spanish language films with English subtitles. Students wrote original scripts, created film storyboards, used videography skills to film scenes, and then completed their films in post production with sound effects, music, and rolling credits. Student films were submitted to the 2024 University of Central Missouri Foreign Language Film Festival. Yesterday students traveled to UCM for the Festival which featured student films in Spanish, German, French, and Chinese from Missouri and Kansas schools. Our students spent the morning viewing films and then attended the awards ceremony. Harrisburg returned home with feedback from the festival judges on their films and two awards. Malas Maestras (Bad Teachers) received third place in the Elementary Spanish Comedy category and M.I.A. received third place in the Elementary Spanish Mystery category. You can see all nine of the 2024 films created by Harrisburg students at MUSART on April 24. #BulldawgPride

Students in Mrs. Monroe’s Pre-K class visited Mrs. Ayer’s high school science classroom this morning to learn about some of the animals that live in her classroom. Students got to meet Curly the tarantula. They learned that Curly likes to eat a special kind of cockroach. They also got to meet a Brazilian Black tarantula named Mr. T who blends into his environment using camouflage. Students inspected the colony of cockroaches that live in the classroom and discussed how some animals are food sources for other animals. Students also got to meet Mrs. Ayer’s class pet Liz who is a bearded dragon. They learned about the different kinds of lights that Liz needs to live in his home in the classroom and everyone got to pet Liz and use a descriptive word for how he felt. Some popular descriptions were “rough”, “scaly”, and “scratchy”. #BulldawgPride
