District VB Tourney
The Lady Refiners play today, October 31, at 2pm in loser out action in the District 10C Tourney at St. Patrick's Academy in Great Falls.
Lady Refiners Advance
The Lady Refiners volleyball team defeated Augusta in 3 sets to advance and play tonight 30 minutes after the 6pm match (estimate of 7:30-8).
Good luck Lady Refiners!
Fourth grade finished writing narrative stories and had a "Story Fest" to enjoy reading each other's work. Of course, we listened to coffee shop jazz music and drank a warm beverage to really set the mood.
To learn more about the Fur Trade, a student brought in a few different furs to feel, and we read the picture book, "The Flower Beadwork People". The students had fun dressing Mrs. Nagy up in the furs! We then designed our own flower beadwork on a moccasin craft.
K-6 teachers have been implementing an awesome new writing curriculum with students, and today, 4th grade came to share some special things with 1st grade! Both classes have learned about barebones sentences and the importance of their structure. They are the foundation and the building blocks to create more sophisticated sentences as students advance in their writing skills. The 4th grade students summarized some fun Halloween stories completely in barebones sentences and then read these stories to the 1st graders. Both classes enjoyed spending time together!
Tourney Time
Good luck to the Lady Refiners as they open tournament play vs. Augusta today at 2pm in Great Falls at St. Patrick's Academy.

The 2nd graders had some fun learning with a "pet" pumpkin! 🎃
These beautiful and incredibly special beaded gloves were gifted to Mrs. Richmond, and made a perfect addition to our introduction of the Fur Trade and the Metis (The Flower Beadwork People)—a distinct group of people who grew out of the fur trade.
Things were spinning, rolling, and whirling in third grade as students created motion with handmade wheels and makeshift tops!

Welcome to Bat Cave Day! 1st graders enjoyed learning about non-fiction texts while studying bats this month.
We kicked off Red Ribbon Week with Crazy Day!
These 4th graders wrapped up their first unit in Montana History last week, and to show what they learned, they used historical thinking skills and numerous historical texts to answer the essay prompt: What was Montana like before non-Indians arrived? As well as, who called Montana home, and how did they live? With scaffolding and support, this group wrote their first 5 paragraph essay!
