Sixth Grade Goes Metric The sixth grade year was filled with many new things. They learned all about the metric sys- tem and posters about the metric system were made. They did a check in their home and compared them to our money system. The class also studied about their home state of South Dakota. Each child sent for information about a city in South Dakota and they wrote reports about that city. They also made salt flour maps of South Dakota. Their big art project for the year was making string designs. Nine out of the twelve students also participated in band. BACK RON: Left to Right: Tom Heilman. Keith Van Well. Tami Tim Karst.

This year the fifth graders have had some new experiences. It is their first year of receiving letter grades. They have had to learn to take notes and study for tests. New science and English books have presented them with chal- lenges. In science they especially enjoyed a unit on waste manage- ment where they made sanitary landfills as an activity. A tour of The Bowdle Pioneer, which went along with our newspaper unit in English, was another highlight for the fifth graders. They have stud- ied the fifty states in Social Stud- ies and tried their hand at mas- tering fractions in math class. Fifteen of the students also participated in their first year of band.

Eighth Grade Is Moving Along The Seventh and Eighth Grades combined? They said it wouldn 't work—but we did it!! Maintaining class spirit'' yet living (almost) in harmony with another class calls for a delicate balance. This challenge was successfully met by a very special group of seventh and eighth graders who learned not only the traditional 3 R's but also two additional R’s: responsi- bility and respect for self and oth- ers—both vital ingredients for successful students and a suc- cessful class. The Eighth Grade's major pro- jects for this year have been the mock election they held in Novem- ber and moving right along to- wards their diplomas L to R: BUCK ROW: Darwin Haar, John Bauer.

“Body Works” Improves Fourth Grade Fourth Grade started the year with new science books in which they enjoyed throughout the year. They did many experiments from the books concerning the animal and plant communities. Fourth Grade also enjoyed “Body Works''. “Body Works is a TV program in which teaches the students different exercises they can do. Once again this year the fourth grade produced a safety filmstrip. The children drew their own safety scene which were sent to Texas to be made into a filmstrip. The chil- dren then added sound and pre- sented their filmstrip to the other classes in school.

Terron Puppets Entertain Third Grade The Third Graders along with the other primary grades were in- volved in a special project this year. This included puppets brought to the classrooms by Marky Schulz and her puppets from the Dragons Are Too Seldom Puppet Theatre in Spearfish. SO. This has led to other puppet con- struction and dramatic presenta- tions in our classroom. This group of nineteen students has also mastered cursive writing and consequently can be neat writers. Mrs. Berg had special re- wards for the students when they proved their mastery of multiplica- tion and division facts. AROUND: Left to Right: Kindra Beitalspacher. Tammy Bieber. Sherri Spky.
