Patten's Projects
This project encouraged collaborative communication and technology application. According to Patten, "Their projects were pretty good for their first group presentation. The class learned a lot and how to laugh at their mistakes." Students will continue to build upon presentation skills throughout the school year with more projects at the end of various units.

Sid and Veterans visit Irwin's 5th Grade Classroom
One of the other main characters, "Sid" was a 5-year old boy from Wahpeton, ND. Sid is actually based on the real Sid Moore who now lives in Watford City. Sid and his wife, Carol, have spent most of their lives in the military serving our country. They shared many experiences with class about the places they traveled and hardships they encountered.
Additional area army veterans, Carrie Carson and Tammy Wilson, also shared their stories. The class learned both women served in Germany and knew how to drive a tank. The class wants to thank all speakers for sharing their experiences and all veterans for their service to our country.
