🎃🍰 A Little Math, a Lot of Boogie, and a Sweet Treat! 🍰🎃
Mrs. Frashure's 5th grade math classes put a fun twist on an old-fashioned cake walk! 🕺💃 As Halloween music played, students danced their way around the room until the music stopped. Then it was time to put their math skills to the test! 🧠✏️
Students solved problems to review the skills they’ve been working hard to master. Once the answers were revealed, the student standing on the correct answer won a delicious Little Debbie cake! 🧁🎉
Who says math can’t be fun? Mrs. Frashure's students were learning, laughing, and celebrating their hard work—one math problem and one sweet treat at a time! 👻🧡#GoGilmer
🏚️ Spooktacular STEAM! 👻🔨
Mrs. Sprouse and Mrs. Shelia’s 2nd grade science classes have been learning all about engineering and the design process! Our young engineers put their creativity and problem-solving skills to work as they designed and built their very own haunted houses using a variety of materials! 🎃
What a fun, hands-on way to bring science and engineering to life!
