Thank you MercyOne New Hampton, Afinitas, and Zips for letting us in to explore your business. Students enjoyed the tours today.











October was a busy month in Mrs. Sanford's preschool room. The students learned about pumpkins by helping to carve their own classroom Jack O'Lantern. Then they painted their own shape jack o'lanterns! Preschoolers also worked on their fine motor skills by painting with Q-tips. Our last fall project was creating fall wreaths out of items students found out in nature, from acorns to leaves to corn cobs. Each wreath turned out so unique and special!

Great day one of business Tours. Thank You Milkhouse Candles, Croell, and ATEK for letting our 8th graders into see what great things we have going right here in New Hampton!











The Chickasaw County Farm Bureau Ag in the Classroom teacher, Jesscia Rochford, visited fourth graders last week. She talked about how many miles our food travels to get to us from across the United States. The students chose a meal and then they used Google Maps to calculate the miles their food traveled to get to them. This was a great lesson to review geography and the location of the states as well.



Food Production I Class was hard at work this week making their Chicken Divine Pasta Dish for our PBL (Project Based Learning) project. Our question was, "What's for Supper?" and our solution was our Take-N-Bake Meals made from scratch and then frozen for the community to buy. I am not sure if we will have any extra time this semester to make more meals, but if we do I will post it on our social media.
