The fourth grade room
has been exploding with technology. As a 1:1 iPad elementary, we have the
capability to do a lot of Project Based Learning. Using the iPads, the students
are individually learning the content of the subject.
Recently in Nebraska
Studies, we used a website called Thinglink to create projects. The students
had to look up information on a topic and link it all together.
In Science, they used an
app called Skitch to label the layers of Earth’s core. They also used an app
called Pic Collage to collect pictures of weathering, erosion, hurricanes,
tornados, floods. They also use the app Zondle to study for tests in Science
and Social Studies. I love that they are exploring on their own and learning in their
own way.

their Jump Rope For Heart Event. Mrs. Darcy White, Physical Education

Cub Scouts in Pack 218
celebrated the birthday of Cub Scouting on Sunday, Feb. 23 in Exeter.
The scouts opened the
evening with a flag ceremony led by Webelos Scout Blake Meyer. A
prayer for the food was led by Braden Capek.
Before the meal was
served the scouts performed a skit. Webelos Scout Clint Oldehoeft
played the part of Wendell Windbag as he retold the history of scouts as he had
researched. The cub scouts dressed as a caveman, a shepherd in
Biblical times, an explorer, a medieval knight, frontiersboys, an American
Indian, an alien and a mummy before one scout corrected the historian and the
scouts sang “Happy Birthday Cub Scouts.”
Later in the evening
the scouts had a Friends of Scouting presentation by the Cornhusker Council
District Director Jerad Reimers.
The scouts also
received their awards during the evening. Receiving the wolf rank
were Josh Meyer, Tyler Due, Troy Kallhoff, Devin Harrison and Mikey
Bartu. Receiving the Webelos rank were Braden Capek, Chris Kelch and
Ben Bartu. Clint Oldehoeft and Blake Meyer received additional
Webelos pins and will be awarded their Arrow of Light at an upcoming ceremony.
The scouts looked
forward to the highlight of the evening, the Pinewood Derby
Race. Mr. Stanley Rhodes brought the wood track that he made 35
years ago for the scouts and had Lance Larsen and Steve Rhodes for his
assistants for the evening. The group directed the scouts in the
race and judged the show portion of the evening.
The show results
included modified winners: Ben Bartu, first, Braden Capek, second and Devin
Harrison, third. In the stock show Tyler Due came in first with
Mikey Bartu in second and Chris Kelch in third.
The race was exciting
and the final winners had to have a race off to see who was the top
winner. Overall in race Tyler Due finished first barely beating out
Clint Oldehoeft. In third place overall was Josh
Meyer. When the cars were divided up by type, Braden Capek took
second in modified race and Devin Harrison took third.
