5th Grade ELA classes finished their Hatchet novel study and related activities today. The students absolutely loved the book! At the end students created and presented projects such as designing a diorama of the setting, constructing a model plane of the one in the book, building a small scale raft that actually floats, among others. Today students participated in a Socratic seminar discussing different factors that were necessary to the main character's survival. The students did very well in all of the activities and had so much fun they asked to do it again and were thankful for the opportunity!
Please pick up your evergreen orders as soon as you can. They are sitting outside of the bus barn next to the parking lot and it's pretty windy out there! Happy Thanksgiving!

5th Grade ELA classes practiced responsible citizenry and wrote letters to save the horses at Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We discussed the issue, reviewed sources, and wrote a formal argumentative essay to send to the park service.
Some responses were sent in the mail, others were submitted via the online portal.
The students really enjoyed an assignment that had a real-life meaning and had a connection to North Dakota!

As Intro to Ag students completed their soils unit, students designed mini soil science lessons to teach to the 5th graders. One group gave a short presentation and the other groups prepared soil related activities for the 5th graders to participate in. Topics covered included soil erosion and prevention, soil horizons, and soil texture. Intro to Ag students designed the activity, collected their own materials, wrote their own formal lesson plan, and will be grading a test they made for their students. It was awesome to have "the big kids" teach "the little kids"!
