Champions...
Congrats to the Green Team:  Sophia, Jake, David, Autumn. This victory counts as 2!

Most Team Victories on the Year...
Every year since 2004 I have put students in collaborative groups.  Each group has a leader, a scorekeeper, and a monitor.  Groups compete with each other for points and point cards. Every week there is a winner and teams are reshuffled.

I have tracked students for the past 9 years.  

I have a Hall of Fame in the back of my room.  To make my Hall-of-Fame you had to have 10 wins in one year.

So far these are the tops in my class:

Sam: 10,  Lilly: 9,  Veronica: 9, and Jake: 9.

There are 28 students in the Hall-of-Fame, that's an average of 3 students a year.  This year there isn't much parity.  I have 1 already in and 3 more knocking on the door.

Most wins ever?   13. Bradley Trejo in 2005, and Connor Lewis in 2010.

Dirt Bike Proportions...
Love this game!!  It is a great way to sharpen your proportion skills.  The cool thing about it is that you play against other people.  This weekend try and log-on and play a bit.  Create a private game and then text you friends to join you.

Math Resiliency Question...
Only one person was able to get this right- Aaron, but I felt like there was MUCH better participation this week. Thank you.




Terra Nova Tests are Over!!....


1-week since the Bobby Knighting and here are the results...
  • Our mean Science Test was  86% 
  • Our mean Wordstudy Test was 84% 
  • We had a decrease in missing work and a huge increase of people who legitimately tried the resiliency problem.  
  • Invention Convention supplies flooded in this week.

I think things are starting to turn around. :)



Batteries Came in the Mail this Week...
Thanks to everyone who donated.  Hopefully this LED project will turn out good.
