Grade 4 students visit The Orchard! Creativity in the outdoor kitchen was a wonderful way to demonstrate our understanding of fractions. This self directed learning opportunity allowed students to "bake" snow dishes while discussing and identifying proper fractions.

Grade 6 is beginning a math unit on the coordinate plane. Students began the unit by playing with manipulatives called XY coordinate geoboards. Students learned how to plot points, where the origin (0,0)is located, and how to create geometrical shapes. Studying the 4 quadrants reinforces our integer work and lays a foundation for algebraic concepts.

The STEM fair at KMHS was a great success. Our students researched and showcased their knowledge of their chosen topics. They presented to a team of teachers as well as parents. Thank you to Ms. Harvey and Mr. Hannigan for coordinating STEM fair and thank you to all the teachers who helped judge the STEM fair. Winners will be announced at academic picnic.
And finally, the classes.....the sophomores seemed to be among the missing during group photos--maybe someone can find them in their "candyland" theme hidden among the lollipop trees. In any case, each group worked as a team, spent time team-building, and had fun with staff as well as each other---thank you to all who made last week a success for students! KMHS Rocks!
More Cougarfest pics that capture the excitement of teamwork! Working together is key to succes in these events!
