Bubble gum in school??? That's right! Sixth grade students chewed gum today to see how many "chomps" they could chomp in 15 seconds, 30 seconds, and 60 seconds. Then they predicted how many chomps in 5 minutes using their own data. Regular chomps, big chomps, little chomps...There was a lot of chomping. What a fun way to learn about ratios and rates.
Mrs. Pringle is at it again! She challenged these GT students to use the words they received by adding them all to a story they wrote. They discovered the words to be used through the numbers referenced on rocks. The kids loved it!
4th grade had a blast today playing a Blooket challenge on European Explorers. Some of them are pictured with a project they just completed on comparing and contrasting Native American history. Mrs. Truett is doing a great job of facilitating the study of Texas History that helps history come to life for the kids.
5th grade students were recognized today by Mrs. Hogan for doing such a phenomenal job in reading!! Looks like it was a big hit. We can't wait to reward them and others for their amazing continued efforts.
Today was PBIS Store Day for these amazing 5th grade kids! We are so proud of your positive behaviors!!
