Today the North and South took a bit of a break from marching and drilling in the Civil War game. The class looked at what soldiers at that time did to pass the time when they were not marching, drilling, or fighting. One of the big activities of the time was to design a regimental flag. Groups began working on a flag of their own that could be carried into battle. General Hellman assures the troops that they will soon be “going to see the elephant” (fighting in their first battle).
Today was a big day in Mr. Hellman’s Civil War game. Students began marching towards a battlefield where they were told they would be engaging the enemy. As they approached a turn in the road they heard a sound approaching. Groups had to decide what action to take. Several groups decided to throw caution to the wind and fire at the approaching sound. These groups were horrified to learn that they had killed a cow being walked by a farmer. They are slowly learning that they must have patience during this game. What will tomorrow bring?
Child Development students had a blast with Mrs. Dittbrenner’s 3rd grade class for Foodie Friday!
K-6 students earned character awards during the month of January for showing perseverance! During our assemblies, they also worked with their classes to brainstorm ideas for positive self-talk messages and accomplishing goals by breaking down difficult tasks into smaller steps.
Please see the attached information for an upcoming driver’s ed meeting.
The Ag 4 students spent their Friday networking with Agricultural Businesses at the Ag Expo in Minot.
Elementary Math Tip: Knowing the basic facts of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division enables your child to compute faster and more easily "see" the relationships in more complex math problems. Knowing the basic facts is a confidence booster for all children. Math facts can be easily practiced using flashcards, math apps, or verbally with a family member/friend.
One way to switch up practicing multiplication facts is change how you're asking the questions. Most of the time we ask for the product, for example, "8 times 5 equals what?" Instead, change the question and ask, "8 times what equals 40?" This requires a deeper knowledge of the multiplication fact and prepares your child for division.

Today Mr. Hellman‘s social studies classes continued their simulation Civil War game. They have been training hard in a mock basic training and improving their skills. Today they had an opportunity to improve one of their simulation skills and to be promoted. They also took time to practice their writing by doing their first journal entry. They will keep writing about their experiences in these journals throughout the game. Most were happy but some were upset with the general for not promoting them.
Time to travel to America! 🗽
Mrs. Stafslien’s class has been learning all about Ellis Island, The Statue of Liberty, their ancestors, and more! They were given the task to take only “one suitcase” with them and needed to decide what they should bring along for the journey! 🧳
