Wow-did we ever learn a lot at the NILE!! I love it every year because I learn many new things each time too and that says a lot coming from an old farm girl from ND. This goes great with Rusty's toolbox question today: What does it mean to be a life-long learner. I told my kids that my dad is celebrating his 89th birthday today and he is still learning!!! I love it!
Well, back to the NILE; we went to 7 different stations today with each of them teaching us things about MT's agriculture.
If your child can tell you how many sugar beets it takes to make one 5 lb. bag of sugar, write sugar in the planner.
If they can tell you one thing we get from beef cattle other than meat, write beef in the planner for more money. We sang the "Home on the Range" song too. If they can tell you about rangeland, write rangeland in the planner. Last, but not least, if they can tell you what we get from brown chickens, write chickens in the planner. That is just a few of the things so have a great conversation tonight about what they learned and also ask them to tell you their favorite part and write NILE in the planner. As you can see, the blog reading tonight is worth $250. Also, if they practice the xtramath, write math for another $100. That is $350. We had great Bitterroot behavior so way to go Team Hankins! You made me proud!!
Water Cycle Stories: These are coming home to get published tonight if they weren't finished in school. We haven't had a lot of time to do them and they are due tomorrow.
Drug Free Week agenda/permissions slips: This will be coming home tomorrow. I want to talk about it tomorrow in morning meeting.
Leaves-Leaves-Leaves: We had so much fun helping our buddies with this on Friday that we and Ms. Erickson's class are going to make leaf animals tomorrow and then do some poetry writing to go with them.
Have a great night and enjoy the pics. I took more and they won't all fit so I will put a couple on tomorrow as well.
