Math Masters, Indeed

Kids from my school competed in the 5th grade Math Masters competition today.  We won the district team competition and I came in 6th in the individual competition.

Book Bowl Champions!

My team won our school district's 5th grade book bowl competition tonight!  We had to read a bunch of books that were nominated for the Maude Hart Lovelace award and answer three rounds of questions about them.  Each elementary school had a competition - we won our school and represented Kimberly Lane at the districts, and then we won the districts!

On the Field at the Xcel Energy Center

At the Minnesota Swarm game tonight, we got to form the entry tunnel for the players to run onto the field.  It was awesome, and the Swarm won the game!

Pre game - at home with Ainsley!

Getting ready to head out to the field.

 

Forming the tunnel and waiting for the players.

Doing the Dishes

My Dad showed me pictures of Benny doing the dishes when he was little and I'll be darned if I was going to let that pass without doing them myself.

Outdoor Ed: Winter Edition

Dad came to my outdoor education class and took these pictures of our class and our creations.  We got to walk on the pond, which was pretty cool.  Next time, it'll be April and we'll have to stay on the dock.

Destination Imagination

I have been working with my Destination Imagination team for the past several months.  We called ourselves "The Mind Reading Gummi Bears."  We didn't win the competition to make it to the state finals, but we did pretty good for a 3rd grade team.

You can watch our full performance here: http://youtu.be/M2MhOhie9lo
