Mrs. Meyer's kindergarten had fun celebrating the 100th day of school! 🎉
The students really enjoyed sorting 100 pieces of their snack before eating it.
Fifth graders had to use clues to solve the crime using their knowledge of multiplying and dividing by powers of ten in math. Solving each problem got them closer to finding out whodunit!
First grade celebrated the 100th day of school with a day filled with 100 themed activities.

Fifth grader Kiylee Liphart was the closest student in an attempt to predict Sunday's Bears vs. Rams game score. The final score was 20-17 Rams, and Kiylee predicted 23-13, just one point off from the final point total.
6th grade did an amazing job creating their "Biome in a Box". The students were able to pick a biome and use what they learned in class to recreate the biome into a shoebox.
During this week the 8th grade Art class are focusing on one-point perspective hallway drawings. They must use a ruler to get straight lines that all go to a single dot in the center of the paper.
Fifth graders putting their thinking to work! 📖✨
