Diamond Dell

The students really enjoyed mining for gems, rocks and minerals today! They should be able to tell you what all their "treasures" are called! I would really like for them to bring their rocks and minerals back when we are studying rocks and minerals. Please remind them to put them in a safe spot! 

Mystery Number

We did our first Mystery Number with a class from Tennessee today! We asked yes/no questions using math vocabulary to figure out what their number was and they did the same. At the end we learned some interesting facts about Tennessee. Did you know Mountain Dew was invented in Tennessee? We also shared facts we researched about South Carolina and our school. 

Students listen to someone ask us a question.

Lauren and Jacob crossing out numbers that we are eliminating. 

We guessed their number! It was 36.
