On Friday, May 2, Daly 4th graders attended the 33rd Annual Farm Fair at the Ravalli County Fairgrounds. They visited various stations and learned about different aspects of agriculture - from beef production to where milk comes from. At each station, students learned about things such as making ice cream, sheep shearing and spinning wool, bee keeping, apple production and more.

This year, our 4th graders learned about Lewis & Clark, read "Captain's Dog", and went on a field trip to Travelers' Rest State Park (the place known to the Bitterroot Salish as "No Salmon"). To further our students' understanding of indigenous culture and how tribes & explorers communicated, Dr. Lanny Real Bird visited Daly Elementary on April 11. He did presentations on the history of the indigenous communication Plains Indian Sign Language (PISL). Through an authentic approach that promoted a respectful perspective on the Native American culture in a cross-curricular connection, students learned several Crow (Apsaalooke) hand signs. Dr. Real Bird is a member of the Montana Humanities program and an expert in Plains Indian Sign Language. We appreciate him taking the time to visit with our 4th graders!

Reminder: Friday, May 16th is a Professional Development (PD) Day, so there is no school for students.
