Before winter break, the Kindergarten and 1st and 2nd grade students went on a field trip to the Heritage Center in Bismarck! They got to take Mr. Pat Faul's new bus! They enjoyed the cozy ride! The 2nd grade students finished the book, "The Magic Tree House: Dinosaurs Before Dark." As a reward we went to explore some more about dinosaurs! Once they all filled our their dinosaur packets, they got to play in the "Tree House!"

Thank you to our bus driver and chaperones who helped make this a successful trip!

The eighth graders got a crash course in problem solving, critical thinking and teamwork in Mrs. Lauer's Intro to Computer Science class. Each team was given a pound of dry spaghetti noodles and an endless supply of hot glue to build a sturdy bridge to span a 12-inch abyss. On testing day, they added textbook by textbook to see whose bridge would hold the most. Congrats to Kai, Paedyn and Nicole! Their bridge held 75.7 pounds, tying our record from last year.

The 1st and 2nd Grade class has been working hard for the last two weeks! It started with a social studies lesson on relative location. With the gorgeous weather last Friday, we walked around town drawing buildings in our community. We also recorded their relative location to each other. As the weather started to get colder, we used Google Maps to complete the research. Once we had all of our information recorded, we started to draw each building. After a lot of drawing, tracing, coloring, cutting, and many, many glue sticks used, we created a map of McClusky!

Thank you to Mr. Williams and Mr. Senske for coming in to hang up our map!

Some questions to ask your student:
What does relative location mean?
What are some of the building/businesses in McClusky?
