The 5th grade is currently studying how scientists investigate things they can't directly see like the center of the earth, distant planets, or atoms. They were given a taped-shut box and then challenged to figure out what the inside might look like - without opening it! They could shake it, tilt it, listen to it, but they were not allowed to look inside. This was a great activity to investigate the scientific process. They relied on scientific evidence, reasoning, and logic to build models. Science is about using the evidence to make the best explanation!






Oh please sir, Mr. Knox sir, let us read to Fox in Socks, sir! Thanks to Mrs. Hovland for sharing Marvin K. Mooney with us today!

3rd Graders made their own 'Bookmark Buddies' today. While some are still in the making, watching the kiddos' ideas come to life is one of the best parts of the day. These Bookmark Buddies are as bright and creative as the kids who made them.

The 2nd graders had a BLAST learning about volcanoes and how they help change the way our Earth looks.









Refiner Basketball
The Refiner boys concluded their season with a 42-39 loss to the Highwood Mountaineers this morning in loser out action at the Northern C Divisional Tournament in Great Falls. The Refiners played hard, hustled, supported one another, and put together a great second half but came up a few points short.
Congratulations to all players and coaches on a great season. They played with tremendous heart, effort, and really came together as a team as the season progressed. We are all very proud of the players and coaches effort and how well they represented NTC!
