Exeter-Milligan Update: First Grade

First Grade News

By Haley Johnson, Exeter-Milligan First Grade Instructor

 

First grade students at Exeter-Milligan have been taking over calendar time by teaching a game called "secret number." One student picks a two digit number each day. Then, they get to lead while their classmates ask questions to figure out what they picked. This has helped them master skills like even/odd, place value, and greater/less than. 

 

 

Pictured are Kenan Petersen, Maizy Ogren, and William Lock leading their day of secret number.

“Forgotten Highway” started the show on Friday night in Milligan for June Jubilee before Jack Russell’s Great White got the crowd moving with some of their hits like “Once Bitten, Twice Shy.”

Headliner’s .38 Special returned to the stage in the Centennial Garden in Milligan after performing at June Jubilee in 2016.  Starship was scheduled to perform this year but due to the injury of one of their band members they had to back out of the commitment.  .38 Special stepped in and entertained the crowd once again performing their hits, “Hold on Loosely,” “Rockin’ Into the Night,” “Caught Up in You,” “Fantasy Girl,” “and “Back Where You Belong.”

The band came out for two encore performing both “Chain Lightnin’” and “Second Chance.”

Saturday’s activities included a softball tournament, car show, sand volleyball and a rib cook off before High Heel performed.

The main attraction on Sunday was the grand parade, with its theme “Twice the Fun in 2021.”
