November 9 - We enjoyed hearing from a guest speaker, David Lien. He talked to the kids about mountain climbing, setting goals and trying to achieve them, and his adventure of attempting to climb Mt. Everest. After the talk, he allowed the students to try on some of his gear.
Nov. 16 - We celebrated the end of our nutrition unit with a Fruit and Veggie Derby. The kids worked in teams to create a vehicle to "race" down a ramp.
Team 1 - the Funky Fruits
Team 2 - the Grapesters
Team 3 - the Bouncing Bananas
Team 4 - the Derby Girls
Team 5 - the Banana-mobile
Team 6 - the Vicious Riders
After the first race attempts, the students went "back to the drawing board" and modified their vehicles before racing again.
The white strips mark where the vehicles ended up. The strip of the car that went the farthest is way off to the right of the photo. It really rolled!
