Winner, Winner, Ice Cream For Dinner!

The results of the parent Ice Cream flavor survey are in! Vanilla had 11 votes, Chocolate had 16 votes and Strawberry had 3 votes. We had a nice class discussion using our data language of more, less, greater and fewer. We calculated how many more and how many fewer with all the flavors. Thank you for your input to help us practice our data math!

Washington Monument Model

We created a model of the Washington Monument using marshmallows and toothpicks. The shape of the Washington Monument is an obelisk so the students learned how to put together the squares to make cubes and then to make the pyramid for the top. FUN!!!

Responsible Leaders

Here is the list the class came up with for the qualities of a responsible leader. Your additions from the parent journal letters were fantastic. Thank you for taking such care to answer the question so thoroughly!

How Long is the Statue of Liberty's Foot?

Well, her foot is just a bit longer than our class when we stand shoulder to shoulder. We made a replica of the Statue of Liberty's foot and then measured it against our class. This is what we found out. (Her foot is really 25 feet long.)
