The Creek Valley FFA Members competed in Livestock Judging and Poultry Evaluation in Hemingford on October 28th. There were a lot of competitors and the competition was fierce!
The following members were in top the half and received ribbons. In Livestock Judging: Paisley - Blue, Halle-Blue, Tripp-Blue, Brynli-Red, and Willow- Red. In Poultry Evaluation those receiving ribbons were Lucas - Red, Carter - White
We had another exciting week in Pre-K filled with exploring, experimenting, creating, and celebrating!
We got a little messy with Bubble Cauldron Painting! Using paper towel rolls, dish soap, paint, and water, the children created colorful bubbles on their paper. They had fun watching the bubbles form, popping them by blowing on them, and seeing the unique designs they left behind. What a fun way to combine science and art!
We also became little nature detectives as we investigated the parts of a tree! The children partnered up and went on a scavenger hunt in our outdoor classroom, collecting treasures they found on the ground. We brought everything inside and used magnifying glasses to take a closer look. We discovered branches, bark, acorns, walnut shells, leaves, and even a few tiny bugs! There was so much to see when we slowed down and really looked!
We tried a new activity called Roll-n-Draw a Pumpkin, where the children rolled dice to decide what features to add to their pumpkin faces. After a few interesting rolls, we decided to let our creativity take over, and the children decorated their pumpkins however they wanted! Sometimes the best creations happen when we follow our imaginations!
At library, Mrs. Behrends read Creepy Carrots! by Aaron Reynolds, and the children made their own creepy carrots to bring home. We also wrapped up our Reading Blast contest! The children received their bags of books as a celebration reward, and they brought home some really great new stories to enjoy with their families.
We ended our week with our Halloween Party, and what a fun time we had! Our classroom was full of princesses, superheroes, cowgirls, a chicken jockey, twins dressed as Chuckie, a Ninja Turtle, Pink Scream, a unicorn, a Minion, and more! Even the teachers joined in the fun by dressing up as colorful crayons!
The children enjoyed a witches' hat toss, spider races, an eyeball toss, making spooky pencil holders, and decorating a giant paper pumpkin with stickers. We also had some absolutely delicious treats provided by our wonderful parents. Thank you to everyone who helped make our party so special! Your generosity and support are always appreciated!
What a wonderful week of learning, discovery, creativity, books, and Halloween fun! I am so proud of these little learners and all the wonderful things they are doing!

This weeks events!
Pre-K experimented with solids and liquids by making bubbling Halloween potions with baking soda and vinegar, painted Jack-O-Lanterns with sponges, and practiced counting with a fun new animal game!
Our Dramatic Play Center was transformed into a Haunted House and has been full of imagination as the kids dressed up as everything from frogs and mermaids to superheroes and witches. Our new diner toys have also been a big hit as our little cooks took orders and prepared pretend meals.
We built robots with Magna-Tiles, practiced cutting, played with finger monsters, and enjoyed a pretend campfire with marshmallow roasting on a chilly day.
At library, Mrs. Behrends read "The Very Busy Spider," by Eric Carle, and the kids made their own spider webs, which included a little spider!
So much creating, experimenting, imagining, and learning through play!
The Storm XC team concluded their season at Districts in Grant. Belle and Logan led the team with their 26th place finishes in their respective races while Carter and Luke finished 40th and 43rd respectively. The boys were ranked 11th as a team and finished 9th, achieving our goal of a top 10 team finish. Congrats athletes on a great season! We would like to send a big thank you to Booster Club for sponsoring our team dinner after the meet! Thank you to all for your consistent support of the team and as always, Go Storm!

Kindergarten students welcomed Ashlyn Roelle from the 4-H extension office to learn about the pumpkin life cycle. They listened to a story, learned facts about the life cycle of the pumpkin and then made a craft.
