Tomorrow is National Idaho Day, so we celebrated it today! On this day in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln officially acknowledged Idaho Territory.
Miss Cadey from 4H helped with program today. Until we have enough space in our own building, we borrowed the community center for making potato stamps.
Miss Abbie read Idaho by Fran Hodgkins.
Snack was mashed potatoes (naturally!) with bacon bits and carrots with ranch dressing.

7: Book Pick: The River of No Return by Craig Vroom.
My Book Picks are for older students. The River of No Return is a perfect chapter book for 3rd grade and up.
The River flows past granite walls,
Past sandy banks and over falls,
It swirls about and fairly dances.
We climb aboard and take our chances.
There is excitement with every turn of the river as Olivia and “Jenny the Great” try to keep the president’s daughter safe during their white-water rafting trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River in Idaho.
Join the girls as they embark on a Lucky Penny Rafting Adventure.
