teachers and students laughing

Over the summer, students were encouraged to practice their math facts to get ready for 4th grade. We let them know that anyone who could complete 30 math facts in 2 minutes would earn a special Minecraft celebration on the first Friday of school. Throughout the week, we timed students, and those who met the goal enjoyed some Minecraft fun in Mrs. Schoneman's room!

To add even more excitement, we challenged students to aim for the fastest times in all four operations—addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The top scorers got to take part in a hilarious bonus activity: tossing cheese balls at their teachers! The goal? Get as many cheese balls to stick to a shower cap as possible. We're proud to announce that Mrs. Blankinship's class won with 30 cheese balls stuck—way to go!
