October 8-14 is Fire Prevention week. We pair this with our Community Helper theme and invite JVFD to come visit. Thank you to Dakota Clark for talking to preschool about your firefighting job! Students also learned how to stop, drop and roll if their clothes catch fire and how to low crawl under the smoke to escape a space in classroom activities.
Kindergarten practiced their number writing skills by making numbers on the backs of their partners. Lots of giggles were heard! 😊
Four students from Ag Classes competed in the State Range Judging Competition in Lamar, CO. The team scored 100 more points than they did at the Regional Competition. A huge shout out to Sherri Brandt for driving.
The eighth grade U.S. History class was presenting their projects to the community on Thursday.

Right now, the Red Cross has an immediate need for blood. Our blood drive plays an important role during this time to ensure there are no delays in medical treatment for patients in need. Did you know almost 20% of blood donations come from high school and college blood drives like ours? When donors come to give blood at our blood drive, October 23 @ the Christian Church, they’ll receive an exclusive Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last. Plus, all those who come to give blood Oct. 21-Nov. 9, 2023, will receive a $10 e-gift card. To make an appointment, call the school at 474-3364.
1st grade students practiced using our new Q-ball to share their pictures and stories! The Q-ball projects their voices through the speaker!

As a wrap-up to the week, Kindergarten's Character Strong lesson was to do a feelings checkup for the week. Each student was able to circle their feeling for the week and also to explain their feelings (if they wanted to). This lesson taught us that there are many different feelings and emotions that we all have.
Patterns, patterns and more patterns! Kindergarten did a "patterns walk" to see the pattern that each student created. We then repeated the patterns aloud to help us remember that patterns repeat, repeat, repeat!
Pre-K worked on shapes this week.
The JH Ag class got a little taste of the FFA contests by doing a little floriture competition. The FFA members do this competition as part of their Career Development Events.
