The NDSU Rodeo Team came and visited us last week to teach us all about agriculture and why we need it. They also shared how Rodeo and Agriculture connect to one another and gave us insight in the events they do! Look at a few of the students in class trying to rope below!

Writing - Can you define an adjective? An adjective is a word that describes a noun to better help the reader visualize what they are writing about. This week in writing our focus was to find the nouns in our story and underline them to be able to include some adjectives! Ask your child what an Adjective is to describe you and see if they can tell you! : Reading- What makes a character different from another character? Students are working on finding different character traits such as arrogant, envious, and empathetic. Students are also learning about the author's purpose of writing a story. Is the author's purpose to persuade the reader, to inform the reader, or to entertain the reader? Math - We took our Unit one test and have moved to working on multiplication and division number stories. Students learned how to make arrays and to practice equal grouping. We were reminded of 1 x a number is the other number and 0 x a number is 0. Science - This weeks challenge was to build a windmill that's blades could not only catch wind but could also lift weights. The students have one more day tomorrow to see if they can successfully carry weights to the top of their windmill. So far the record is 16 weights! :) Important Reminders -
