🎃 2nd & 3rd Grade Pumpkin Fun! 🎃
Our 2nd and 3rd graders had a pumpkin-full day of hands-on learning while exploring North Dakota science and math standards last week!
Students practiced their math skills by estimating how many seeds were inside their pumpkins, then got to sample some roasted pumpkin seeds! 🌱 They also made predictions about whether their seeds would germinate in a ziplock bag with a damp paper towel.
To top it all off, we explored a fun pumpkin experiment using vinegar, baking soda, and dish soap to observe the exciting chemical reaction! 🧪🎃
From making predictions and estimating to observing and experimenting, our students were learning through curiosity, exploration, and a little pumpkin magic!

We were excited to welcome Gracelyn Vaagene as she shared an important message with our 4th graders about making a difference in North Dakota!
Her message connected to North Dakota’s 4th grade standards by helping students understand how people contribute to their communities and state. Students learned how working hard in school, pursuing a trade school or college education, and giving back through volunteering can make a positive impact on North Dakota.
From the choices we make today to the ways we serve others in the future, every person has the opportunity to make a difference! We are grateful to Gracelyn for sharing her time, experiences, and encouragement with our students.

I had a wonderful opportunity to visit Mrs. Pleinis's 4th grade ND studies class yesterday to talk about the Pronghorn. We discussed some of their characteristics, habitat, diet, and their ND range. I also had a chance to inform the students of the many outdoor/hunting opportunities we have in the state of North Dakota. Thanks for the invitation!
