It's a bird; it's a plane. No, it's an egg! Fifth grade students were challenged to create a contraption to keep an egg from breaking after falling from the sky and crashing to the ground. They selected teams and went right to work engineering their apparatus and securing their egg.
Then they went to the south side of the school to drop their eggs. Some made the harrowing decent in one piece. Others cracked under the pressure.
The Penny Wars always gets students feeling competitive, but never more than this year. Mrs. Stirland made the goal to reach $3000 for the week to help purchase a new Chromebook Lab for the school. Little did she know that, not only would the goal be reached, but essentially smashed! The school earned over $5000 in pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. This is unheard of, folks! Mrs. Stirland promised if we reached our goal, she would be duct taped to the wall. Mrs. Ore agreed to the same challenge.
All the students who had good behavior at Park View throughout the term were able to attend the first annual Karaoke Activity. There has never been as much excitement, noise and singing as at this activity. Students were able to select props to wear, step up on the stage and perform their favorite tunes. Hearts were pumpin', kids were jumpin'; it was a fun time for everyone. Enjoy the energy with these photos:

Here it is again! The Penny Wars! And if you're wondering what the Penny Wars are, then you have been lost! Well the Penny Wars are when all the classes each have two jars, a negative and a positive. Silver coins count as bombs/negative coins, pennies count as positive points! And whichever class has the most pennies, gets a pizza party. Second place gets a rootbeer float party! And third place gets popsicles. The reason for the penny wars, is to get more chromebooks and ipads for our school. Also we have a goal to get to $3,000!
The Spelling Bee was on March 16, 2016. Each class chose their top 3 spellers who went to the school spelling bee. Here were the 3 winners.
Good job to all who made it to the school Spelling Bee. Here are all the students who made participated:
The third grade had a Mall a couple of weeks ago. All year long, students earned tickets for good work and cooperation. They were able to use their tickets for items at the Mall. Some kids were selling pixy sticks, painting fingernails, and shooting a nerf gun at Cooper and Gabriel. Some of the teachers were buying sodas and other stuff. Mrs. Jasperson’s favorite part was shooting Cooper and Gabriel with Nerf guns.
