Counselor’s Corner It has been exciting to see
the participation with Red Ribbon Week.
We have proudly displayed a poster with each student’s signature,
pledging to be drug free. For two
weeks in Guidance, we talked about the effects of drugs, alcohol and other
harmful substances. The life skills
here are Courage and Integrity.
Students from each homeroom class will be chosen to receive a “Shining
Star” award for representing these two character traits this week. |
Today, NASA launched another
space shuttle and this one took a piece of our school with it. Students from
Hendricks signed a poster that is now in outer space. What an exciting way to involve our
children in science today. Not all of
us can do this, but we all can find a moment to be curious with our children
– the basis of all science. Be
thinking with your child of something about which you are curious. It could be a science fair project brewing
there! |
5th
grade CLIMB
is starting an exciting unit -ENERGY!
OK, we admit that might not sound exciting, but how about this: Crazy Coasters and Marble Madness? Still confused? Our students are part of a design
engineering team for a new amusement park and have been asked to design the
craziest coaster in SC. To impress the
directors of the park, they have decided to build a small working model of
their design. May the best team
win! Next, students will construct a
marble maze in a shoe box. But this
time, we have to SLOW things down because the best maze is the one with the slowest marble! Odyssey: This on-line program is designed to improve
student learning, thus test scores.
Students who are scoring low or high on the PACT will benefit from
using this program. Please make sure
they are here for their scheduled time and encourage them to take advantage
of this at home, as well. |

2)Unhealthy treats might refer to the number of calories in each piece of candy. An average 1.2 oz candy bar has 190
calories. How many calories will each
child have consumed when eating his or her entire share of the candy?
The third exit on a highway is located at milepost
40, and the tenth exit is located at milepost 160. A service center on the highway is located ¾
of the way from the third to the tenth exit. At what milepost would you expect to find the
service center?
Milepost 130. The other two posts are 120 miles apart and ¾ of 120 is 90 + exit 40 = 130
Puzzle 2:
The average age of the 40
members of a computer science camp is 17 years.
Of those attending 20 are girls, 15 are boys, and 5 are adults. If the average age of the girls is 15 and the
average age of the boys is 16, what is the average age of the adults?
28 years. Because the average age of the 40 members is 17, the total yeas of life is 40(17) = 680. The total for girls is 20(15) = 300 and for the boys 15(16) = 240 so 40 – (20 + 15) = 5 adults account for 680 – (300 + 240) = 140 years. So their average is 140/5 or 28 years.
