Is there a doctor in the house? There was a third grade classroom in Woonsocket full of them last week on Tuesday and Wednesday! The students learned about the body through various activities, and then the learning activities were also focused around surgery. Fractions were cut, finding the area of rectilinear rectangles by cutting them into parts; contractions were cut and stitched together with apostrophes; and compound sentences were adhered with conjunctions on bandaids. The students got into character with all the surgical attire, as well as stethoscopes around their necks, a syringe shaped pen to do their work, and a prescription of candy treats to keep them energized through the daily tasks. So much engagement filled our days, as we demonstrated our learning of many concepts.

Well, the wait is over as Stephen Escobin and Ginger Manke have stepped into the role of business owners as they took over operations of Buckshot’s in Letcher earlier this month.

Manke didn’t live in Sanborn County full-time growing up, but she spent every other weekend of her childhood on the family farm located about six miles north of Letcher. When she moved here permanently in 2017, she wanted to find different ways to integrate with the community as she stated, “Letcher is a very cute little town, and I really like the people here.”
