Earlier this spring while school was still in session, third grade students Kendra, Blake and Carter worked with Mrs. Benjamin to develop a plan for furniture in the Outdoor Classroom. They found blueprints for a bench with a table in it and requested funds and materials to build it. It is the first piece of furniture that they wanted to make. Thanks to a donation of all materials by the Hanson Family and Blue Water Prairie we were able to make it happen! Over the last two Wednesdays, Mrs. Benjamin and the students met with Mr. Myers in the HS shop where we cut, put together and built the project. Due to the height of the saws and the age of the students, Mr. Myers made all of the cuts, but not until after the students confirmed the measurements and the marks. Sometimes, there was a lot of math involved! The students drove in the majority of the 3-4 pounds of screws after Mr. Myers would tack the boards in place. Today, we finished the building of the seat and the power sanding of the entire piece. Kendra, Blake and Carter took over an hour to do all of the sanding. Over the next week or so, we will work to get a number of coats of varnish on it and by the last week in June, it should be ready to go out to the classroom! Stay tuned for more!

One group of GT Middle School students spent the day learning about machines and work. They toured ESP and Shaver Manufacturing. They made pizzas at the Side Street. Then planted flowers on hole 8 for Mr. Simington's family and hole 9 in memory of Noah. They got to play a few holes of golf, hammer nails, make pudding and cut apples with simple machines.
These GT Middle School Students planted flowers for the city of Graettinger along Robins Avenue as part of their May Term experience.
“Lifetime Activities” and “Adventures Out There” May Term groups paired up on Thursday to visit the Dickinson County Nature Center, disc golf in Spirit Lake, had lunch by the lake (Thanks, Coach D!), and finished the day with disc golf in Estherville.
