The 2nd graders did some activities to investigate which numbers were odd and which numbers were even.

3rd and 4th Grade stepped into a Haunted House for math class today! They had several challenges to solve. After each challenge they had the opportunity to draw a "trick" or "treat" card out of the cauldron. If they drew a "trick" they had to reach inside an assortment of bags labeled witch warts, vampire teeth, zombie hand, mummy skin, etc. If they drew a "treat" card they got to choose a prize from the cauldron! We had a great day of fun and learning!

Happy Halloween from 5th & 6th!
