Nancy Noun and Victor Verb!

Calling All Inventors!

Calling Student Inventors!

MN Student Inventors Congress Student Competition

Do you have an idea for a great invention? Creativity, innovation, problem solving and the invention process are the main elements of the Minnesota Student Inventors Congress. Students are challenged to identify a problem, research it, test solutions, document results and then display the results of this process. MSIC advisors receive a packet containing information for the event and "how to teach an invention unit."

Tens and Ones

During math, we have been focusing on place value. The first graders need to be able to tell me, for example, that 23 is 2 tens and 3 ones. We used pretzel sticks and jelly beans to show numbers today! :)
