Today in 3rd grade, we had a fun activity to go with our focus this week which is main idea and key supporting details of a story. Students filled “Main Idea Bags” at home. Their bags contained items that were the key details to support the main idea of their bags. We worked with partners to examine the bags and determine the main idea and then had to explain how the key details support the main idea. After discussing each bag we tried to guess whose bag it was! Ask your student about the 2 bags they looked in. Have them explain the main idea of the bag based only the items inside.

Today was college application day for TL-M seniors! 4 seniors participated in our event this year allowing them each to get a free application to the North Dakota College or University of their choice! With students beginning to fill out applications also comes thinking about scholarships and financial aid. As students and families start thinking about paying for post-secondary pathways, don't forget about Counselors Corner on our TLM website! There you can find lots of scholarship applications (some due at the end of October!) as well as resources to help navigate and complete the FAFSA!

Last week the 8th and 9th grade classes had a chance to participate in the T4 career summit at Bismarck State College. Each class had the opportunity to learn about 4 different career pathways related to trades and/or technology. The 8th grade class attended sessions where they learned about heavy equipment operating, career opportunities through John Deere, carpentry, and what its like to be an auto technician. The 9th graders learned about career opportunities through Butler Machinery, coding and PLCs, HVAC, and jobs in road construction. Some questions to ask your students about this experience include: - What was the most interesting career you learned about? - Do you think you might consider going into any of the careers/career areas you learned about?
