• A seed spitting contest where we measured our spit distances, figured the mean, median and mode distances and challenged Mr. Delich's class. We won... our farthest spit beat theirs. Way to go Swayce! Click here to view some photos of the event.
• Our Great Airplane Challenge... we learned about economics by participating in this project. We formed companies, purchased equipment and supplies at an auction, created products (paper airplanes) and flew them in a contest. There were several categories of prizes and the winning company had the greatest final profit. Grand prize winners received pewter airplane keychains donated by Latashia's father. Ben's dad donated some prizes as well so everyone was well rewarded for their hard work. We learned a lot about economics along the way!
• The Castle... We are so lucky to have our own castle reading nook. Students and parents worked together to build, paint and decorate this fabulous creation. It is the favorite spot for quiet working in the classroom. All of us love it! Click here to see some pictures of the work in progress.

Now, we are looking forward to the second half of the year!
