Pogoball Contest



Today was the Pogoball Contest! At lunchtime kids competed to see how many times they could bounce on the Pogoball. Last year the winner jumped about 800 times. But this year, oh my goodness! Jordan jumped 3,571 times. Connor, (our Connor!) jumped an incredible 5,666 times. All I can say is WOW!!!!

This is what we did in class on Tuesday afternoon. While students painted their bio models the class did a review of the events leading up to the American Revolution. the assignment was to summarize each event using the facts they found in their supplemental social studies books.

Wow! I was absolutely impressed. Each student was focused and on-task. It was a pleasure to see fifth graders working so well and so independently. They should be very proud of themselves.
