| The life skills class offers a functional curriculum to students who have difficulties in traditional academic classes. All activities are hands on. Math is taught through the use and handling of money as we do in running our morning business which serves breakfast and drinks to teachers. The students not only learn about math and money, but learn vocational skills that will help them keep a job or run a business when they get out of school. We also teach cooking, work in the cafeteria, and help out on the school farm. These are all places where skills and academic subjects such as science and language arts can be taught using a hands on approach. |

| Thunderhawk Ranch was home to another successful Frontier Day. Everyone was dressed in theme clothing and participating in the events at "The Ranch". Our community volunteers and staff taught quiliting, animal tracking, branding, cutting and splitting logs, fire starting, apple bobbing and roping. 8th grade students attended an old one-room school house for lessons and jump rope, played marbles or cat's cradle during recess. There were table games, antique tools, a post office, and banjo and fiddle music. Our TPC provided lunch and worked tirelessly all day long alongside all of our 8th grade teachers. Slide Show |
