They shared the experience with the rest of Colden Elementary and made a chicken craft. They will each propose names for the chicks, which they will vote on later. #ExperientialLearning #RedefiningRural

Recently, our high school agriculture students shared some of their knowledge with Colden 4th graders! Avalyn and Miley shared the story of "Lucky Ducky," who is on the hunt for a four-leaf clover. Then the students were able to plant their own clovers in the hopes of finding their own lucky four-leaf clover. They added dirt, seeds and water to cups before placing them on the windowsill to grow. Before the older student left, they answered questions about agriculture and FFA.

SGI Celebrated St. Patrick's Day last week! The first graders in Mrs. Maybach and Mrs. Anderson’s classes at Colden Elementary utilized the healthy choices cart to make “Leprechaun Smoothies” made with frozen fruit, spinach, orange juice, bananas, and yogurt. They also wrote about their leprechauns, played games and more! The naughty leprechaun was searching for his gold in Mrs. Ballantyne's class at SES! The kids tried to trap him with their rainbow traps, but with NO success! The leprechaun sprayed silly string all over the classroom. He even made the toilet water green. The class followed the gold sprinkles and M&M trail out the window, and he left each of them a cookie. Maybe they'll catch him next year! The kindergartners also took part in Lucky Charms graphing, making leprechauns, and Fruit Loop rainbows!
