Starting to think about the end of this inspiring and enriching 8 week experience.  Over the next week I am hosting a two class Math Olympics.  What a great “formative assessment!”  90 minutes of class vs. class and student vs. student math frenzies and lollipop prizes.  The students are also bringing in their “science projects” capping out several weeks of study of Mixtures and Solutions.  Three minutes each to present their crazy experiments.  Should be a fun three hours.

As much as we will miss the balmy equatorial climate we are looking forward to getting out the snow shovels and having fun at sea-level in the New England winter.

Of course, having a family Christmas on a Pacific beach is not to be sneezed at either.
