For a buddy activity this month we shared our Curriculum Fair projects with each other and then enjoyed looking at the other projects in the gym with our 5th grade buddies. We even got to watch the championship round of the 5th grade's Native American game tournament!
Our first Jr. Achievement session discussed the ideas of goods and services, and producers and consumers. We explored assembly line production by "making" donuts as a team. We definitely enjoyed our treat of real donuts at the end too!
We practiced measuring our height with both feet and inches. We first estimated each other's height and then we worked with a partner to mark our height on the wall and then to use rulers to measure.
We enjoyed finally having recess in warm weather! We also enjoyed testing some new outside play equipment. Mr. Kaspar even stopped by to join in the fun!
