We’ll get a youth delivery team together to get the cookies out to our older generation.
Where: At the Hay Springs School Cafeteria
When: Sunday December 8, 2013 Sugar cookie “construction” starts at 1:00 PM and we’ll probably be finished by 3:00 PM.
The fifth graders have been learning about the process engineers go through to find solutions to everyday problems. To practice the design process, students used modeling clay to design a raft that would float. Then they added pennies to the raft until it sank. They worked through the design process, by redesigning their raft, or by placing pennies in the rafts in different positions, to find the most pennies the rafts could hold without sinking. The students had a lot of fun designing and sinking their rafts.
When: Friday, October 18th, 2013 in Lister-Sage
Session1: Grades 3-6 Boys and Girls
Time: 9:00 – 11:00 am
Cost: $20 per camper

The first grade celebrated International Dot Day on Monday, September 15th, the kindergarten on Tuesday, September 16th. International Dot Day was started by a teacher in Iowa in honor of the book, The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. We watched a video interview with the author describing how he was inspired to write the book. Then he read the book. Mr. Reynolds dedicated the book to his 7th grade math teacher who dared him to “make his mark.” You can watch the video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKKVDaHiM4E
After hearing the book each student made his own “dot” using a special page from http://www.thedotclub.org/ and Colormix. When viewed with a special app the flat pictures become three-dimensional. You can get the app from Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. Check out http://www.colarapp.com/ for coloring pages.
Here are a few of the finished “dots.”
