The kids all had the opportunity to take a picture with one of the boarder markers.

We went to see the ND/ SD boarder markers today. The kids all got a kick out of standing in South Dakota and North Dakota at the same time. There are five markers still standing along the land my brother and his wife farm.

Everyone trying out a desk in a one-room school.

 Third grade took a field trip today to the Eureka Pioneer Museum in Eureka, SD. The museum has many amazing items to see including lots of antique tractors that the kids were allowed to sit on.

 

Third grade toured the Security State Bank today, April 18. The kids learned a lot about what goes on in a bank. Some of the things they learned about are: insurance, loans, the coin sorter and counter, what a vault looks like and safety deposit boxes. They really enjoyed themselves. Thank you to the people at the bank for taking the time out of their day to teach us something new!

 

Reading Month Finale!

They kids in grades 3-6 played lots of basketball. After running off lots of energy  they were treated to ice cream sundaes with lots of toppings to choose from.
