We had a great time at the range a couple of weeks ago. Even our staff and parents got behind the .22 and took a few shots. Huge THANK YOU to the Yankton County Sharpshooters for hosting us.

Bendable Bones
We had to borrow a kindergarten student to finish a study we were doing in 5th/6th grade science about age and how it affects the ratios of head circumference to height and leg length to height.
The 5th/6th graders are learning about the endocrine system.
The 5th /6th graders found out how important calcium is for STRONG bones. Chicken bones were placed in vinegar for a week and the results are seen above in the two photos. The students also learned about the chemical reactions that took place to make the bendable bones.
We have been blessed with some beautiful late summer weather to keep us outdoors for p.e. class.

First Full Week of School ~ Full of Activities
The 7th/8th graders had to design their own experiment to test which of 3 types of soils would hold the most water. Each experiment was different reflecting the uniqueness of each student in the groups. Looking forward to hearing their conclusions later this week.
The breakfast of a teacher rushing from a 7:40 am radio interview to the classroom by 8:15 am. Love being on the air talking about the school on KYNT 1450am here in Yankton ~ first Wednesday of each month.
