Every school, every Thursday / Des Moines east-north

Parents Night for the third, fourth and fifth grades was rescheduled for March 6, and even with the date change there was a great turnout of more than 100 students and their families. The three grade levels were scheduled for three activities: meal in the cafeteria, build a book and math Olympics. Parents and students participated to create a book from a kit purchased by the PTA. The books were mini-scrapbooks with different background sheets and foam shapes to create images important to the student. Parent and student created the book together and then got to take the book home. The math Olympics involved measurement activities like the Straw Javelin and the Sponge Squeeze. The students estimated distance, mass and volume and then measured to determine accurate data with the difference between estimation and actual data.
