Students in third grade attended the South Bend Symphony yesterday at the Morris Performing Arts Center!
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 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!

Mrs. Anderson's sixth grade math classes finished their latest project yesterday - building and planning their very own food trucks! In groups, students built a model of their food truck, using proper measurements and a blueprint, while also creating the menu and pricing. Students then made presentations about their food trucks to the teachers and their class.
Put me in, Coach!
Our students really enjoyed touring the fire trucks and putting on the uniforms during the Niles Township Fire Department visit last week!
