Miss Zahn’s class had quite the adventure today! We walked to the high school on such a beautiful day for a fun-filled afternoon with Miss Albertson’s FACS Class for Foodie Friday! The kiddos learned how to make a grilled cheese, then had a Grilled Cheese-Off. Winners were chosen for Best Teamwork, Best Use of Bacon, Most Golden Brown, Most Appealing, etc. We had so much fun! Thank you to Miss Albertsons & her class for having us! 💙

The 5th graders had their field trip today at the Minot State University Science Show. First, we attended a magic show where we saw a bunch of cool chemistry reactions and many more science experiments. After lunch, we broke off into small groups and got to go to different rooms with different experiments... Erosion, dissection, fluorescent DNA, rocket launching, & CD air hockey were just a few of the activities we could choose from! We had a blast! 💥
A huge thank you to Sarah Brewer & Brence for driving the buses! And another thank you to our chaperones, Holly Gustafson, Barb Roise, and Stacey Mortensen, for joining us today! We couldn’t have done it without you all! 😊

Elementary Math Tip: Math requires active learning. This means in order to learn math, students must complete assignments and homework. Math is not a subject where students can simply listen in class and expect to become proficient. It is a subject that builds on what is previously learned - like building blocks. Missing school and not completing work can affect a student's understanding and progress. All the "building blocks" must be in place for the continuance of successful learning.
The second grade classes have been researching wolves and today they got to Skype with a wolf expert from Wolf Haven International.

When you hear the word Garfield what do you think of? Mr. Hellman’s social studies classes were surprised to learn it was the name of a former president and not a big orange cat! Over the next week they are working on a research project where they are assigned a lesser known president and learn facts about their life and presidency. They are learning lots!
