Cookie Turkeys!

The day before we left for Thanksgiving break we made cookie turkeys. They were lots of fun to make and even more fun to eat!

Halloween Party!

Our Halloween Party was a lot of fun! We had Monster Mash(ice cream sundaes). We played several games. A special thanks to a few mom's that came to help out: Mrs. Reed(Riley's mom), Mrs. Maxwell(James' mom), & Mrs. Casey(Daniel's mom). Also, a big thanks to everyone for sending the goodies we needed to make our Monster Mash! Thank you! Thank you!

Pumpkin Seed Count

We participated in another online project at www.jenuinetech.com. For this project Mrs. Blunt bought a 4.5 lb pumpkin for us to use. We got to touch it, smell it, listen to it(by tapping on it), and look at it. We then discussed our findings. Some thought the pumpkin did not smell good, some did. Some thought it was bumpy, others thought it was smooth. Then Mrs. Blunt told us about the word circumference. We got to cut off a piece of yarn that we thought was the circumference of the pumpkin. Chase got the closest!
Next we each guessed how many seeds we thought we would find inside the pumpkin. Most of us guessed around 100. Mrs. Blunt cut open the pumpkin and scooped out seeds at each of our tables. We grouped the seeds in groups of 10. After we counted them all, our pumpkin had a total of 404 seeds! We had a good time and learned a lot too!

O.R.E.O. Project Results!

We had sooo much fun with the OREO project! We guessed how many we thought we would stack, then got two chances to stack as many as we could. Our class average was 20 cookies stacked!

As one person stacked, their partner would put a tally mark on their sheet. It took lots of team work.

We also practiced Expectation # 4 - "We will cheer each other to success."

O.R.E.O Project

Our Multiage Family will be participating in the online O.R.E.O. project throught the following website http://www.jenuinetech.com. The goal of the project is to estimate (predict), count, collect data, share, and compare information. Each student will estimate (guess, predict) how many Oreo's he or she can stack (without using support). After the student has estimated how many he/she can stack they will attempt to stack Oreo's as high as they can. Each student will have only two attempts. Students will create an individual graph, graphing the amount of Oreo's they were able to stack. After everyone has completed two attemps we will calculate the class average. Once we have completed our class average we will post our data online and compare to other participating classes from around the world! All final results will be posted after October 15th.
