Amazing Site that Shows the Powers of 10!

Check out this amazing presentation that powers you just how big we are..and how incredibly small we are! Remember, the metric system is so useful because every unit is separated by a power of 10, or "times 10". How many millimeters are in a centimeter? And how many centimeters are in a decimeter? How about decimeters in a meter? See? It's all 10. Cool times 10!! :o)

President's Day Project

In honor of last Monday's holiday, President's Day, we've been hard at work on something a little different. Instead of the typical Presidential biography, we wanted to present their lives in a more modern way.  Each group made their own "Presidential Facebook Newsfeed" by picking 12 presidents and writing a hypothetical "Status Updates"they might have posted. There's even comments from other presidents! Some groups below are hard at work, some are smiling for the camera, and some are even posing for their own presidential profile picture! Check out how our projects turned out!
