Mrs. Rischling's Kindergarten Culture Project

On Friday, December 15, Mrs. Rischling’s kindergarten class had a special guest, Patty Pourier, come in and share about Native American culture. She taught the students how to count, say thank you, and grandma in Lakota. The students also learned the friendship dance. Each student got to try on a beaded vest and learned how the Lakota beaded the designs. 

Following their guest, the students shared about their own cultures. The students shared information about their culture and some even brought food to share with the class. The students had so much fun learning about different cultures and trying foods from these cultures.

Mrs. Sandstrom's Class Connects with Farm Bureau Pen Pal Leo

 

In September, Mrs. Sandstrom’s 2nd grade class was matched with an Ag Pen Pal through the Nebraska Farm Bureau Foundation. We were lucky enough to be matched with local farmer and rancher, Leo Vander May. Since September we have exchanged several letters and video messages with Leo. On Thursday, with the help of his daughter Annabelle, Leo came for a visit. With him he brought a cow named Dream, a calf named Lola, and a friendly rooster that goes by “Colonel Sanders.” We were also able to meet and love on his trusty sidekick, Jane. The kids learned so much from Leo and had a great time. Our class looks forward to more letters, messages and visits from Leo throughout the year!!

Before Thanksgiving Break, students from Chadron Primary School were able to make ornaments and walk down to the Dawes County Courthouse to decorate the Christmas Tree housed in the lobby area.  Students enjoyed the nice weather and were treated to candy canes from the courthouse staff.  We are thankful to have the opportunity to spread some joy this holiday season and if you get a chance, stop by the courthouse to look at the artwork of our students.
