The Exeter-Milligan fifth graders,
with the tutelage of their teacher Mr. Brent Zoubek, have been hard at work
learning about and exploring different minerals. They have learned about
what a mineral is, how they form, and how to identify them by using the
different properties. We have discussed the minerals that we use in our
everyday lives and the importance of recycling so we have these things for
years to come.

What makes a meal balanced? Mrs. Marla
Weber's Second graders at Exeter-Milligan learned the answer to this and other
nutritional information in their recent health unit. These students studied the
food pyramid and other components to a healthy diet. They created
menus that not only used knowledge of the food pyramid, but made certain their
menus had listed food with varying color, texture, temperature and taste. These
menus were submitted to the cooking staff for evaluation. After being accepted
for all necessary criteria, the second grade menus will be prepared by the
school cooking staff for use in the school lunch program.
Fillmore County Hospital Dedication and Open House

Jill Shipley’s Art I classes at Exeter
– Milligan have just completed their “Where’s Waldo” project where they drew
images of things they liked. The students worked on overlapping images,
creating unity using different media, and balancing their picture with images
and color.
