Our Chadron Primary 2nd graders went over to Chadron Intermediate for their "Bump Up" Day and were very excited for what is to come.  The third grade teachers, students, and Mr. Cogdill were very welcoming and our students had many of their questions answered.  It is always a nice way to bridge the two buildings and we wish our students well as they move on to 3rd grade.

Friday afternoon Ms. Becky's Daisy Troop was busy earning their gardening patches at the Primary Building.  The girls volunteered to help brighten up the elementary school by planting a variety of flowers in posts outside.  Thank you to Ms. Becky and the Daisy Troop for making Chadron Primary look so great!

Mrs. Angie Hudson (Kindergarten teacher) was recently awarded Teacher of the Month honors.  This award is sponsored by Upper Niobrara White Natural Resources District as well as Eagle Radio (KCOW, Double Q Country, B 94.7, and Panhandle Post).  A gift basket and treats for Mrs. Hudson's class were also provided by Ta-Da Quilt Shop and Art Studio.  Mrs. Hudson has been an amazing teacher with Chadron Public Schools and we at the Primary Building wish to congratulate her in this well deserved honor!

Primary Families, please remember this Friday, May 5th there will be NO SCHOOL for our current Kindergarten students.  This is the date our incoming Kindergarten students will visit for their "bump up" day.  Thank you!

The second graders at Chadron Primary hosted a multicultural event this last week as a culminating activity to their multicultural project.  The students in each of the four classrooms split into groups and researched various countries.  They created tri-fold presentations including postcards, important information about the countries, and landmarks as well as salt dough maps of the countries.  The students also brought food from the various countries and enjoyed trying different cuisine.

International Field Trip without Leaving the Building
The second graders helped create an international travel experience for first graders within our building.  Working in groups, second graders were assigned a country and conducted research.  There was a lot that went into the researching.  Students asked questions and located answers.  Students looked for information about language, clothing, food, holidays, the national flag and other interesting facts.  Their final projects consisted of a tri-fold display and salt dough maps.

Students from Chadron Primary School partnered with Keep Chadron Beautiful to learn about recycling and keeping our community clean.  Classrooms were given missions to promote environmental care and the culminating activity was to clean up around the school buildings.  Thank you Keep Chadron Beautiful for sponsoring these activities and educating our students about the care of Earth.

We will be hosting a Native American Parent Meeting Tuesday, May 9, 2017.  The meeting will be held in the Central Office of Chadron Public Schools and will begin at 3:30 p.m.  We look forward to visiting with you about the education of our Native American students.
