Students Going Places…

Dear Mrs. Caskey,

Imagine my surprise when I went to my scout meeting in August and was handed a copy of the DMN NeigborsGo. I saw my picture on the cover and the article inside the magazine. We were out most of summer visiting Norway and India, so I was totally unaware of this. Thank you so much for working with the Frisco ISD Media relations and getting the article published!!! Here is a link to the article:

I wanted to give you an update on the TEDxKIDS – I met with Sharon Lyle a couple of weeks back and am currently working on the presentation. I hope to see you on November 30th.

Thanks,

Hello, Grade 6!

I hope you had a fun time with The Marshmallow Challenge today!

 

I’d like for you to think about the following questions and to be ready  to discuss your thoughts in class on Tuesday.

  1. What was the objective?
  2. What skills and strategies did you and your teammates have to have in order to accomplish this challenge successfully?
  3. Why do you think I had you tackle this challenge on your first day back to school?
