Pumpkin math was a great way to spend Halloween at Mintonye Elementary.  Mrs. Tilley’s third grade and Ms. Overbay’s kindergarten worked together to investigate pumpkins.  The third graders and kindergarteners measured the circumference and counted the ribs in the pumpkin together.  The buddies went on to empty out the pumpkin meat and made groups of 10 to 100 with the pumpkin seeds.

Educators share their commitment to social and emotional learning with state leaders.

Students from Mrs. Wise and Mrs.Tilley's classes participated in a Book Stroll featuring Deborah Heiligman's picture book entitled, The Boy Who Loved Math: The Improbable Life of Paul Erdos.  Students were dismayed to learn that this mathematical genius, a man who is renowned worldwide for his abilities, was unable to do many day-to-day tasks.

Wyandotte Elementary School teacher Aaron Hamilton received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching.

The kindergarten classes at Mintonye had the privilege to attend the Fire Prevention Show on Wednesday, October 9, 2019.  The show is performed by the Lafayette Fire Department and provides crucial safety lessons to children, and entertains them with live music and participation on stage.

Have you ever heard of an ammonite fossil? Wonderfully talented art teacher, Mrs. Huhn, shared the beauty of this fossil with Pioneers this week. They discovered how very different each side can be, how the inner part of an ammonite works and the beauty within. After learning about the ammonite they set out to learn the technique of working with water colors to recreate their own fossil.
