Math game day

By Kendall Stites

Today was math game day at school. It was pretty fun because parents got to come and we got to play games all of math class. Some classes played top decimal top it, or multiplication bingo, or even clerk and costumer. Some classes got to play in the hallway. But it was a blast.

When 4^th grade started it was an hour before lunch time. So when 4^th grade was done it was lunch time and my class had no homework.

By: Nicholas U and Nicholas M

Kyle Orton is the person who got injured. He is the new quarterback for the Chicago Bears. It all happened at Soldier Field. It happened because he got tackled and someone tripped and fell on his leg with all of his weight and injured himself.

It happened when the Lions were playing the Bears. It happened at the 1^st quarter. It was on a Sunday, on November.

It happened because an outside linebacker that was 200 pounds fell on Kyle Orton. He got injured on the leg and is now out for the season. Sadly they lost.

The Construction

By: Mackenzie Mollohan

"Come on bring it in, bring it in". Oh! Hi! I was working but just to tell you homestead is under construction! I have learned a few facts about the construction. One fact is that on the part close to the gym they are building sports fields. Some are football, base ball, soccer. Some people think even a tennis court. On the other side they tore down the small playground and are building another part of the school. We are doing this because we are running out of classroom space. Another fact is that there is a huge gray gate.

That’s a lot of construction going on. So I’ve got to get to work so bye-bye!

All about math game day

By Dev

We played addition top-it ,multiplication bingo, decimal topit the games where very fun. We also let our parents come in we divide in to groups it was pretty fun but if our parents where not watching it would be more but I guessed it would be worth it because why would be worth it if they didn’t come it wouldn't be worth it.
