Today in Mr. Hellman’s Social Studies class the students were given a mystery box. The box was put to together by the state historical society and contains real artifacts related to Native Americans. Students got hands on time to hold, feel, and even smell the objects. The class then took a guess at what each object was and what we will be learning about. There were some great guesses!

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.
