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!
This year’s teams were:
🛸 Anderson’s Alien Asylum
🐺 Horter’s Haunted Howlers
🤡 Krotzer’s Krazy Klowns
🧟 Zellers’ Zealous Zombies
Anderson’s Alien Asylum came out on top! 👽 They celebrated with snacks, Ghirardelli brownies, bubble tea, and cider. Congratulations to all our mathematicians for making learning frightfully fun!

Our second graders are exploring the world of Greek mythology! 🏺✨ They’ve been learning about legendary heroes, mighty gods and goddesses, and the stories that have been told for thousands of years. It’s been an adventure full of creativity, curiosity, and imagination!
🎃 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!
