Kindergarten and First Grade spent the afternoon at Theo Art School in Bismarck learning all about painting! Using acrylic paints on canvas, we learned about the primary colors and how to create new colors and shades through step-by-step instructions.
Everyone had a blast! We were shown how to paint not one, but two puppies!
This is definitely a field trip at the top of everyone’s list! We can't wait to go back in the future.
Thank you, Theo Art School for a wonderful experience! This was an amazing experience for our students; who did a great job exhibiting the Dragon Way!
The Earth Dragons learned about Responsibility through building with Lego during their Dragon Houses on Wednesday morning.
Congratulations, Malakye!!
Congratulations, Brody!!

Thank you McClusky-Goodrich PTO for our field trip to Minot's Roosevelt Park Zoo! In true MGPS fashion, we made lemonade out of lemons! In an attempt to avoid a rain day, the elementary school and some brave teachers took students to the zoo and despite all the renovations, disappointing exhibit closures and the heat, we learned an Okapi is the closest relative to the giraffe and armadillos like routines. Thanks to the PTO, all was not lost and we got treated to Subway sandwiches and a visit to Oak Park! Students and staff were tired on the way back! Here are some highlights!
Congratulations, Lilly!!
Congratulations, Emma!!

The McClusky-Goodrich High School Awards Ceremony will be held Thursday, May 15th at 8:30am in the MGHS Gym. While the time is not opportune for visitors, we are hoping for most, if not all, junior high and high school students to be present this year.
Students in Ms. Johnson's 5th grade class can earn the ability to teach a subject to their peers entitled "Be the Teacher". Students earn this for good behavior and can choose their subject. Once they have conferenced with their teacher about the lesson and demonstrated proficiency in the lesson and its outcomes, they are ready to teach! The "teacher" gives the lesson, answers questions and helps their peers complete the assignment they chose to assign. They even get to run a small group or do a one-on-one tutoring session with their peers. The 5th graders have learned that the best way to learn and master anything is by teaching it to someone else! The pictures show two students teaching the math lesson for the day.
