The sixth grade class has been learning about motion, forces, and friction. To put their knowledge to the test, they built balloon powered cars and competed against one another for longest distances and fastest speed.
Today the 6th graders presented their Topic 2 projects. They've worked very hard on these the past few weeks. They had the choice between four different projects.
Design a Puzzle - In this project the students needed to design a Dot-to-Dot puzzle using coordinates on a grid. They needed to design their picture to cover all four quadrants. The students quickly learned this project wasn't as easy as it appeared at first as many had to create multiple sketches in order for the major coordinate points to line up on nice grid intersections. Once their picture was created, they needed to list the coordinate points so someone else could recreate the picture on a coordinate grid.
Travel Brochure - In this project the students needed to research a place to visit and plan a road trip. They needed to highlight five different places to visit, identify activities to do there, record the high and low temperatures of each place, and locate the longitude and latitude coordinates. Along with the information, they needed to create a map of the key places and the order to visit them in. The students took it a step further and created dioramas to go along with their information.
Television Commercial - In this project the students needed to write a television commercial script as if they are the owner of the "Integer Company" inorder to promote and sell integers. After they wrote the script, they needed to record a video to share with the class. They needed to include important information on the importance of integers and their usefulness in the real world.

This year Mr. Smith brought back student/students of the month for his classroom. They have been so busy they forgot to announce the students for the month of September. These students showed outstanding leadership inside and outside the classroom! Congratulations Maddox, Stasia, and Zach! October's students will be announced later today for the category of " outstanding work ethic." Keep up the great work Wildcats!
