On Monday, September 19th, we will have a special event to reinforce math skills in our classroom. This will be a chance for students to share and work as a team and then submit their results to a global project. The project is called the O.R.E.O. Project – which stands for Our Really Exciting Online Project – and is hosted by a teacher in Southern California. This will be her 17th year of hosting this project. Since 1999, students from every state in the US, almost every Canadian province, and several other countries have participated in this project and submitted their results online to share with each other.

Students will have 2 chances to stack as many Oreos as they can. (There are certain rules involved that will be explained when we host the project in our classroom.) After every participant has recorded their stack counts, we will take everyone’s highest count and average them together for ONE CLASS AVERAGE. Besides stacking Oreos, we will be using the cookies in math, science, art, language, and more!! If you wish to see more of this project, please visit http://theoppbj.weebly.com/. We are super excited to take part in this Global Challenge. Please be sure to take a look at our Blogs and Twitter to see how our students did!
