Mrs. Kistner's sixth grade students are currently reading the novel Out of My Mind in which the main character is an eleven year old girl named Melody. Melody is super smart with a photographic memory, but showing others this talent is a challenge because she has cerebral palsy. In order to get a brief glimpse of what a challenge like this might be like, the classes ran an activity today in which students had to build the tallest free-standing structure. The catch? One student was able-bodied, one student was blindfolded, one student was unable to speak, and one student was limited to the use of only one arm.
Shout out to our Middle School Quiz Team! They had an UNDEFEATED season, and competed at the Northwest Ohio Middle School Quiz Bowl Tournament on March 6th. They won their first match against Lake, and then lost to Eastwood. Sue Grant was an EXCELLENT coach to this team of amazing boys. Also, Coleton Shaner received the Linette Butler award - there's only 1 awarded each year!

Students in Mrs. Peters' 6th grade social studies class did an ancient Egyptian simulation yesterday! The students were learning about the different roles of people in Egyptian society. The students used M & M’s to represent crops. The separation of the M & M's represented the labor that the peasants had to do to grow the crops. The peasants and the merchants then had to pay a majority of taxes to the most important people in the society: the pharaoh, the priest, and the nobles. One of the pictures shows the three most important people in society toasting to their rewards. We then compared ancient Egyptian society to our society today.
What a fun way to make learning hands on!
Our elementary and middle school staff got a nice surprise this morning from the Woodmore PTO! They were welcomed into the building with coffee, hot chocolate, and muffins! Thank you so much for the pick-me-up this morning!
