SHOT PUT
Instead of the heavy steel ball used in a regular shot put, we used a piece of styrofoam! Way harder than it sounds!!!




"METRIC BLOW UP"...who has the most air? (...and can tie a knot?) After we blew up a balloon, and tied a knot, a metric tape measurer measured our balloon.






CHECK OUT THE "METRIC BLOW RACE!"











Andrew, the artist, made a face out of his balloon!

WATER DAY

On Thursday, May 27, we had a "Water Day!" It was soooooooo fun! We played "Water Kickball", had water relays, "Water Shambattle", and "Pearl Diving 2010!"


In "Pearl Diving 2010", we had relays on Slip-n-Slides. We also had to take a ping pong ball from our bowl, slide, and deposit it in the bowl on the end of the slide. The ball could not bounce out! It was a BLAST!!!

Even though Mr. Goff didn't meet the age requirement...5-12...he just had to try out Pearl Diving 2010! Good thing he didn't break my slide!

MARKET DAY

Our end-of-month activity for May was "Market Day!" To qualify for Market Day, each student had to have their May sticker card filled, all SRAs and Reading File complete...and, $1,000! Money was earned in a variety of ways: 100% on tests, notes brought back signed, table points, homework completed on time, unit work completed, etc. Students came up with products to sell at the market, and also got to go "shopping" for merchandise! A great time, and haul, was had by all!
