Students have been studying schools around the world and learning about their challenges and how they face them. Students wanted to share their learning through a newspaper as well as getting to know different community members, what their careers are, and the challenges they faced while going to school to pursue their dreams.

 

 

 

 

Another activity with Jack and the Beanstalk; students task was to measure the perimeter of Jacks different sized garden beds for his beans.

 

 

 

 

 

After listening to Jack and the Beanstalk students were given a task to measure the various lengths of Jacks beans using unifix cubes.

 

 

 

Students are working on estimating and counting to hundreds. The task was for students to look at what 25 beans looked like and try to estimate 125 beans. Then students had to count to see how close they were to 125. Students could count by ones or by tens.

Students helped support the Balls and Chain fishing tournament for the local Casey McKern Pay It Foward Foundation that helps people with neck and spine injuries. Students helped fill the bags that go to the women fishing in the tournament. Students had to pay close attention to what went into the bags, making sure all the bags had the same products.
