Our Ag processing students learned the process of canning pickles from start to finish! Students practice proper food preparation, sanitation, jar preparation, measuring headspace, preparing brine, and safely processing their pickles.
There’s nothing better than learning by doing and maybe some taste testing here and there!

September was apple month in 4K and Kindergarten! To celebrate the end of the month, we read “The Apple Pie Tree” and made apple pie in a cup!
Spanish 1 students worked hard creating "Country in a Container" projects and sharing their findings about each Spanish-speaking country with the group. Through their research, they discovered common tourist destinations, traditional foods, wildlife found there, landscapes, climate, government systems, other languages spoken, typical sports and leisure activities, etc. Rather than preparing the usual report or slideshow, students enjoyed presenting information in a different creative way!
Join us for October play groups!
This week in Mrs. Stahlke’s Animal Science class, our students learned about livestock anatomy and terminology. Students had the opportunity to see, touch, and label different parts of a beef calf’s external anatomy, helping them better understand and remember the lessons we’ve been learning in class.

The First and Second grade class had a special guest reader come to the class last week. Ellen Thelen shared the story Applesauce Season by Eden Ross Lipson. Mrs. Thelen shared with the class her experiences with harvesting apples and how to make applesauce. She brought in her apple peeler that each student got hands-on experience to try and peel an apple to start the process of making applesauce. The students also got to enjoy some homemade applesauce that Mrs. Thelen made!
Our eighth grade agriculture students wrapped up their companion animal unit! Over the past couple of weeks students have learned about different cultural perspectives, what makes an animal a companion, and how to properly care for a pet.

The 8th Grade Spanish class started the year discovering all the regions in the world where Spanish is spoken, way beyond only Spain and Mexico! By researching and presenting basic information on all the Spanish-speaking countries, they got a quick overview of the broad range of cultural and linguistic diversity in the Spanish-speaking world!
Look! 👀 It’s 10th graders reading their independent reading books. Ask your kiddo what they’re reading!

Our Intro to Agriculture students have been learning about agriculture right here in Wisconsin! Students recently started a project exploring different counties across the state, researching the agricultural commodities each county is known for, and discovering which counties rank in the Top 10 for production. It’s a great way to connect what we learn in the classroom to agriculture happening throughout our state!
