Who would have thought - Oreo Cookies represent the Phases of the Moon! In Mrs. Hanson's class, Grade 6 explored the moon's phases to understand how the moon, Earth, and Sun interact. After studying the moon's phases and how it changes as it circles the Earth on its 29.5-day rotation, students were given 8 Oreo cookies to create a visual representation. Most importantly, they were able to EAT them!!!

Mrs. Birmingham's Outdoor Education 2 (ODE 2) class succeeded in their fire-starting activity. Before heading outside to complete this part of the program, students must understand fire safety and the proper use of tools needed. The collaboration and cooperation between students made for a successful day of learning and celebration as KMHS ODE 2 lit it up!
