      Our contest for the week of September 24, 2007, featured a quiz with pictures of five big machines used in construction.  Participants were asked to match the name of each machine to its picture.  Many students correctly identified the bulldozer, excavator, cement mixer, dump truck, and roller.  Their papers were entered in a drawing.  There was one winner from each participating grade:  Abby W. (first grade), Cassidy V. (second grade), Brandon M. (third grade), Michaella W. (fourth grade), Colby C. (fifth grade), and Alex G. (sixth grade).  Each winner received a packet of Tonka fruit snacks for a prize.  Congratulations, winners!

Our third contest of the month was another estimation contest.  This time a jar was filled with pony beads.  Many people participated, but no one estimated the exact amount.  There were 1,378 beads and the closest estimate was 1,205.  The lucky guess was made by fourth grader Makayla G.  She wins the whole jar of beads!  Congratulations, Makayla!
