Thank you to both the CTE Food Systems and Natural Resource Class and Ms. Wardynski for planting sunflowers, radishes, tomatoes, and basil with Mrs. Boyd’s 2nd grade class. Recently, the 2nd grade students learned about soil and the lifecycle of plants. An example of a lesson coming to life!
More fun from Pi Day! Mrs. Fechter's students competed to see who could roll ten dice to match the first ten numbers of Pi. Students competed in brackets to determine a winner for each class. Kim Pferrer, Camilla DeGrave, Landon Buerger, Robert Roberts, Jazlynn Oja, and Gabriella Duva were the winners of each hour. How many numbers of Pi can you name?
The Pi competition continued into 7th hour, where Pi finals took place. Maddie Braucher took 1st place with a whopping 243 numbers of Pi memorized! Jacinta Lauzon came in 2nd with 219 numbers, and Breanna Freeman came in 3rd with 144 numbers. Congratulations for working so hard!
Two of our seniors competing for Pi! Emily Martinson and Haley Agee pose with the numbers of Pi.
IMPORTANT! We WILL have school on Monday, March 20, which replaced January 2nd. If you have questions, please contact the main office at 932-0932.
We have some intense competitions going on here at Ironwood! In Mr. Lyons' class, students in the 7th grade competed for the most memorized numbers of Pi. Aila Ruotsala won in 1st hour, and Caydin Kangas won both in her 2nd hour class and overall for 7th grade. Riley DeTray won a contest for drawing the most perfect circle on a tablet (it's harder than it looks!) We will have more updates as the day goes along!
The sixth graders read the book Woodsong, by Gary Paulsen. The book is about Gary's experiences while training sled dogs, and his race in the Iditarod. Students created a scene illustration of the book to demonstrate understanding. Nice work, students!

Check out the amazing work by our students in Woodworking class!
A final thanks to Donnie Maki, of DM Services for organizing the donation of wood from Forslunds Building Supply. We received almost 200 board feet of pine, which our 3rd and 4th hour Woodworking students used to make Adirondack chairs.
A big thank you to Gus Forslund (Forslunds Building Supply), Jerry Synkelma (Ameriprise), Red Richards (Red Construction), Joe Pisco (Pisco Roofing and Siding), Jeff Wessenberg (Sawdust Bin Inc) and Donnie Maki (DM Services) for contributing to the donation. The kids did great work!
Red Devils in the News!
Today the 4th grade students learned about physical weathering. They took sugar cubes and marbles and simulated what happens in nature to the geosphere. Looks like a "sweet" project!
