Thank you to our CAP volunteers, Linda and Jim Pugh! They came out the classroom to present to us on various livestock that are raised in the area and the different crops that are grown. We were even tasked with making our own edible soil from graham cracker crumbs, coconut, chocolate pudding, gummy worms and jellybeans. What a fun treat!

Thank you Dana Mitchell and Kensey Spornitz for inviting our class to visit and learn about this year's 4H Achievement Day, hosted in Edgerton. We learned about what being a 4H member involves AND got to see some fellow Eagle 4H members compete and share their projects!
Students were then given the task of making some trades at a Trading Post, thinking like a settler and creating a kind of shopping list to get what they needed in the new territory.
We got a visit from the Wainwright RCMP school liaison worker, Devery. She helped us navigate scenarios related to social media. Our world has changed quite a bit and bullying and strangers don't just exist out in the community face-to-face. It creates a challenge for students and adults. What are the parameters of different apps? Why are their age limits for them? How do we keep our tech. time positive? Of course it may be easy to listen and make hypothetical choices...now we have to trust our students and children to make positive choices for themselves and others when online.
Thank you Devery for bringing this to light and pushing our students to think about how their actions online, or those of others online, can affect. The fertilizer must be good stuff...the kid's sunflowers are really growing!
