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.
Daly Families: Please join us for our last Mustang Meet-Up of the school year - Art in the Park - Thursday, May 29, 5-6:30PM @ Daly. Weather permitting, the event will be held outside. Please remember that all children must be accompanied by an adult.
Just a reminder that there will be no school on Monday, May 26 in observance of Memorial Day.
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!
