Gingerbread house decorating fun.
More gingerbread house decorating fun.
Middle school students wrapped up the quarter by enjoying board games and building gingerbread houses over the final two days.
Additional pictures from the middle school reindeer feeding station challenge.
6th and 8th grade science students took advantage of the long class periods to compete in construction challenges.
Here they had to construct reindeer feeders that held cookies off of the ground and withstood gale force winds.
Students had limited time and a tight supply budget. The good news is, most were successful!

Mrs. Block's 7th grade Life Science class took advantage of Friday's nice weather.
The class was divided into two teams. Teams were challenged to create a detailed animal cell using available items.
Students were given 5 minutes to plan, 20 minutes to build and 5 minutes to present their cell and cell structures.
The teams competed valiantly and after double overtime, the result was a tie and both teams won!
