A Little Agriculture, A Little Rodeo and a Little Pizza

We had a wonderful pizza party yesterday to celebrate selling over 100 coupon books. We joined Mrs. Jenson's class and snuggled up to watch a movie together. We had such a blast and LOVED the pizza.

Afterwards, we had the NDSU Rodeo Team come and present on agriculture and rodeo. The kids learned about what agriculture means to us. They shared what products come from different animals. Some of us were really surprised to know a football comes from a pig! They also shared a little about rodeo events and what expectations were held for each event such as staying on a bull for 8 seconds.

Next, we found our inner cowboy and practiced roping. The students were so brave and positive as we all tried to rope a dummy steer with  and without horns. I think we could have roped all day if they let us. Each child got a free ticket to the NDSU Bison Stampede Rodeo this weekend. Hopefully some of us can attend. We were so thankful for this experience.

 I even was part of the action... and no, I didn't get it on the dummy. But some of the kids did.
