Mine rescue assembly. Thank you Goldstrike Nevada.

Class visit to the California Trail Center. Fantastic place! We learned about the trail, pioneer chores, and the local environment.

Visit to the Elko Convention Center for Cowboy Poetry Week.

Great visit to the Western Folklife Center. Our favorite station, leatherwork.

Today we began the day with a presentation from Lisa Turner, a local relator here in Elko. She talked with the class about her job and the steps to write a great sale ad for a house. We are going to use her information to create and write sale ads for our haunted houses. Stay tuned for the final products next week on Halloween, if you dare.
Also here are some comments from Lisa about her time with our class. "Today I had the pleasure of talking with a 3rd Grade class about writing For Sale Ads for homes and what a Realtors job is. They have a project to build a haunted house and write a For Sale Ad for it. Note to my colleagues--there are some upcoming kiddos who will absolutely be top agents. They asked me contract negotiation questions and about editing and reviewing written copy before posting to social media. I'm going to review their adverts and give prizes for the best ones. Hopefully I can share those with you. So excited by how motivated and excited they were."
Thanks Lisa Turner. Your presentation was inspiring today. A couple of the kids even said they want to be a relator now!
