Summer Academy students also got to venture out on a nature hike...one group even hiked out over a mile, while others found the mud...😅





We learned a lot about the animals in our area. We also got to checkout skulls and pelts with naturalist Laura!





Here are some pictures from our clay whistle workshop today at Springdale Art and Nature Center, in Halstead. It was a challenge but so exciting when we finally got them to whistle!

Thank you April for hosting us, and Republic County Admin for making this trip possible! We enjoyed every minute!





Even our helper and drivers for today got to get in on the action too!





These four brave souls got to sit in the HOT seat today! They had a blast creating their own paperweights! I will post some videos of the kids on @repcoartroom later. Be sure to check them out!!





April let each student choose their own project for today. Students could choose to make an ornament, cup, or paperweight. We have to wait 24-48 hours before we can get them, and we can’t wait to see our final creations!
What a great hands on activity for Summer Academy!!





We just finished up glass blowing. Should be home by 7:13/7:30. Sorry we are running behind! But we had fun!!


The Rep. Co. FFA Officer team recently went on their retreat! The team bonded through escape rooms, ropes course, and planning upcoming FFA activities.
