Kindergartners and first-graders had a chance to spend time with middle school students prior to the end of the school year. The pups traveled up to Cardinal Middle School to participate in a fun reading activity. Middle school students worked in groups to select and read a book, create an activity related to the book and then share a treat with the younger students they were working with.
Older students shine in their example by planning, implementing and demonstrating their reading skills. Younger students get to see the middle school, meet older students and work on their reading skills, too. It’s a great way to bring the two groups together and everyone always has fun.
Egg-O-Nomics
Ms. Barb Tropf’s third-grade social studies classes wrapped up their economics unit with Egg-o-nomics. Students brainstormed and created business that provided a good or a service that would be beneficial for a plastic egg. Social studies classes set up their businesses. Then, students in Mr. Mike Topalian’s math class came to shop for their adopted egg.
Students learned a lot about being both consumers and producers. Many said running a business was hard work.
