Fun Filled Friday

Students record their experiences crossing the North Platte River during a combined Strawberry/Cerrito Oregon Trail Simulation at the CerritoBerry meeting

It was nice to see everyone at math night.  Students loved to show off their math knowledge and different methods to solving problems!

We had another packed, fun-filled Friday.  Strawberry and Cerrito are at the same point in the Oregon Trail simulation, so today students did their simulation and journal writing together during the CerritoBerry meeting.  Families brainstormed how to cross the North Platte river--many took wheels off their wagon and invented different caulking materials so it didn't leak.  Creative journaling ensued--afterward students shared their creativity.

Julia's friend, "the fish guy" teaches us all about fish during buddies

Julia's friend, a fish biologist, was became "the fish guy" for buddies and introduced some new fish to the tank.  He shared all sorts of adaptations that fish have made to their environment.  After the discussion big buddies helped the little buddies "create" their own aquariums and fish math problems.

More pictures from today.

Have a nice weekend!
