In Iowa Ag, students learned about different livestock breeds by researching, painting, and creating cardboard models of their selected breed along with clue cards featuring the breed’s origin, characteristics, and fun facts. To finish the activity, students walked around the classroom guessing the breeds their classmates created. It was a fun and creative way to learn more about the diversity of livestock in agriculture! See if you can guess the breeds...

Fourth grade SAIL has put in the time creating their own business from brainstorming ideas, constructing marketing research by interviewing staff and students, creating a building blueprint, constructing a letter, creating a logo and business card. Lastly, they created questions for Matt and Megan Roelfs, local business owners. The students enjoyed a treat and learned and asked questions about how Chairish Life and Iowa Steel Masters started up. After that, the kids went behind the scenes of Iowa Steel Masters to see it in action. A big thank you goes out to the Roelfs for taking time out of their busy schedules to give these students the opportunity to learn about entrepreneurship!
