I apologize for not blogging last week, but I was at Covenant Heights (freezing!) with the 5th graders at their Eco Adventure. We had a great time despite the snow and cold. My pink group had a fabulous time on the zip line and high adventure. And our girls cabin had fun playing games and singing songs. All of the pictures I took are on the photos link on this website. http://traceybean.weebly.com/photos.html Here are a few samples of some of the evidence of fun! Last night, I had the privilege of taking 10 of our top performing problem solvers to the Poudre School District Mighty Math Minds Tournament at Olander Elementary. Sierra, Dylan, Lydia, Sophie, Nick D, Jensen, Bryn, Quinn, Alex, and Sammi represented us, and they did awesome! Out of the 39 teams from the district, our teams placed 4th and 17th. And the most important part was they had fun doing math! Again take a peek at the photos page http://traceybean.weebly.com/photos.html _to see all of the pictures but here are a couple of shots of the teams: And the last update for this week are some pictures from our last STEM Engineering challenges for the year. 5th grade built magnetic detection devices that could be included in deep space exploration of remote planets. 4th graders built moon landers to hold their moon rovers from the last challenge. They also had to hold their egg-stronauts, and survive the landing unharmed (uncracked!) 3rd graders are building transponder towers that could aid communications from the moon or another planet in case of emergency. Once all groups have finished their challenges, I'll post the pictures and videos next week.
