Mrs. Hale & Mrs. Cline took their students outside for a math themed snowball fight! Each student created a 3 or 4-digit subtraction problem with regrouping on their snowball. After a few minutes of good old fashioned snowball throwing, they each grabbed a snowball and solved the math problems they found inside with their table mates. #cses #CUSD1

Third graders in Mrs. Bosler's class completed a science experiment to see if they could outrun a dinosaur. Students measured the length of their legs and the distance of their stride when running. Spoiler alert- no one beat the Deinonychus or Coelophysis, which had similar leg lengths as the third graders. #csescusd1
