Halloween Fun

We have had so much fun doing Halloween activities at school.  On Friday, we did some pumpkin math.  We cut open our class pumpkin and counted all the seeds using 10 frames.  We were shocked that our pumpkin had 535 seeds!

Tennis Ball S.T.E.M. Challenge

This week at school in our grade one class we did a S.T.E.M. (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) challenge where the students had to design a structure that would hold up a tennis ball for at least 10 seconds and the higher the structure the better!  They worked together so well, nobody gave up, and through a lot of trial and error, each group was successful in their design.  Through respectful communication, they worked collaboratively on developing their problem solving, and critical thinking skills.  It was amazing!  You can see by the pictures how proud they were of their designs!
