Investigating Geometry

Submitted by amy.nelson on

2nd Graders were asked to build a cube using toothpicks and marshmallows.  Not only were they excited to work with marshmallows, they quickly learned that the marshmallows and toothpicks would help them determine how many vertices and edges a cube has.  One can tell by the looks on their faces that they had a great time and were very pleased with what they learned!

5th Grade Debate Tournament

Submitted by amy.nelson on

Mrs. Nixon and Mrs. Thomson had a debate tournament in 5th grade.  Over the course of two weeks, students were required to create cases for both sides of a controversial topic, and practice delivering their speeches.  The event culminated in a single-elimination tournament between the two classes.  1st place went to Ryan and Moises, 2nd Place to Brooklynn and Dakota, 3rd place went to Bronte and Justice.  Congratulations!!
