=== OREO Stacking Global Challenge.............................Tuesday.....Students try to see how many OREO cookies they can stack in a tower before it topples!! It is harder than it sounds! :) Math skills of range, median, mode, and mean are reinforced, and results are posted to an online site to compare our data with those of students around the world, including our special friends in Scotland. It is a fun learning activity and really impresses upon students that they are part of a global community. :)===

Have a wonderful long weekend!!
