To go along with our dress up week, we had a couple of competitions runnings.  The first took place in library and was called the Math with the Lorax competition.  There was a large jar of gumballs in the library and each student got to guess how many gumballs were in the jar.  The number of gumballs in the jar was… 495!

The closest guess and the first place winner is:  Azariah Sroufe in Mrs. Haines 5th Grade class. She guessed 499 gumballs.

We learned more about earthquakes and seismic activity in 5th grade with our earthquake simulation. We have a few future engineers among us!

In first grade this week we kicked off our inventors and inventions unit in science by designing our own "not a box" inspired by the book Not a Box by Antoinette Portis. In the book a bunny tells the reader the box on the page it not a box then proceeds to show the reader the many things a box can became such as a car, robot, building, and even a mountain. After the story the students had fun planning out their designs and implementing what they had planned.

We are finishing our geology unit by classifying rocks into metamorphic, sedimentary, or igneous. This was a rockin’ activity!
