Yesterday, our sixth graders mixed math with deliciousness! Students followed a no-bake pumpkin pie recipe that required them to measure, compare, and calculate fractions every step of the way. From dividing ingredients to adjusting measurements, they put their math skills to the test—then enjoyed the sweet reward.
Mrs. Frye’s third graders just wrapped up their Human Systems Unit, and our future doctors were busy in the clinic! Students rotated through hands-on “patient stations,” each one challenging a different skill:
*Math Triage: Using real-world patient story problems, students diagnosed whether the “treatment” called for multiplication, division, addition, or subtraction.
*Text Feature Check-Up: Patients were “sick” until students identified the correct text features to cure them.
*Muscular & Skeletal Lab: Students explored how our bones and muscles work together to keep the body moving.
*Waiting Room: Just like a real doctor’s office, students read themed books on Epic while they waited for their next rotation.

Students in all four sixth grade homerooms faced off in a spooky math competition last week featuring Halloween-themed multiplication, division, fractions, and estimation challenges! Teams earned points for completing IXL assignments, turning in work on time, checking accuracy, keeping rooms tidy, volunteering, and showing kindness. Bonus Halloween sheets with sudoku and logic puzzles added to the fun—while points were deducted for any “tricks” like being too loud or off-task!

🎃 Our third graders did some pumpkin math last Friday! Students measured the weight and height of their pumpkins and even counted the seeds inside. Some reported finding hundreds of seeds! Hands-on learning (and a little messy fun) made math extra memorable!
