Red Ribbon week

Blog Post Editor

Red Ribbon week was to show that Halstead Middle school is drug free. The older kids put signs on the walls and had activities for the kids to do. The kids had fun dressing up for red ribbon week. We all got pencils and bracelets. All the classes got to decorate their doors. I think all the kids had fun.

Fun with rats

The teachers let me come in at recess and play with the rats. The rats were not as I thought they would be. They were fuzzy,soft,cute,and funny. My partner and I loved the rats. They were so fun we just loved them. My favorite ,Cream, was tan I liked Cookie to. That is my story about the rats.

Kids Read All The Way To Hall Of Fame!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ms. Bohling a 4th grade teacher at Halstead  Middle School came up with an amazing idea  to get kids motivated about reading. It's HALL OF FAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kids have to read at least 2 books each 9 weeks. There are many levels to hall of fame. The first level is college you have to read 2 books in this level for the first 9 weeks. You have a new level every 9 weeks. There are 2 extra levels veteran and hall of fame. If you finish all the levels you get a prize.

Music Videos Take 2!

My rock stars have been at it again.  This time each class preformed a different video related to data landmarks. These days are oh so fun!  I love to see that energy! :)

Mrs. Vermillion's Class created their own actions to "Mean, Mode Median" from our Rockin' the Standards CD. Here they are:

Mean Mode Median
Music by Ben Jacobs, Lyrics by Tim Bedley
I have a set of numbers so let’s now begin
The mean is the average, Add ‘em then divide
The mode is most often, and it’s easiest to find
Median is the middle, won’t have any trouble
Just line ‘em up big to little
Pick the number in the middle
Woo, That’s mean, mode, median!
Mean Mode Median (Average, Often, Middle Number)

Music Videos Take 2!

Mrs Bohling's class decided that they wanted to write their own lyrics to the tune of Mary Had A Little Lamb.  Here they are:

Maximum and minimum, minimum, minimum

Maximum and minimum…subtract to find the range

Median is in the middle, in the middle, in the middle

Median is in the middle…lined up all in order

Mode is the most popular, popular, popular

Mode is the most popular …you see it there the most.

Mean is the most difficult, difficult, difficult,

Mean is the most difficult…add them then divide

Music Videos Take 2!

Mrs. Alvarez's class took a chant that was created last year, learned the actions and then preformed it.

Here they are:

We know the minimum, maximum and the range.

It’s the littlest, biggest, then find the dif.

Median, median, he’s our man

Put ‘em all in order, and the middle can be found.

Mode, mode what do you say?

We’re the most popular, and we’re here to stay

Mean, mean so very mean

Add ‘em all together and THEN divide.
