2nd Annual Turkey in Disguise Contest
November means it is time for Thanksgiving and all of the lessons and activities that go along with the holiday. Last year, my students enjoyed our Turkey in Disguise contest so much, I just had to do it again this year. Turkeys in Disguise is actually an idea that stems from an amazing children’s book Turkey Trouble. If you do not have a copy of the book at home, a quick Google search will allow you to watch a reading of it online. This year we invited Mrs. Pounds 3rd and 4th grade class to join in on the fun and her students did not disappoint! In all, we had 14 student entries . . .

News from the Glasco Art Room
We have a lovely Banded Garden Spider ( Argiope Trifasciata) joining us in the art room. She arrived just in time to celebrate Halloween with us! Anyone who has been around long enough knows she is the perfect class pet for us as she fits right in with my classroom decor. The students have voted to name her Spook, so Miss Spook will be spending some time learning art with us for a while.

They have made great strides since the beginning of the year! 1st - 6th grade are currently . . .

Title 1 and the Junior High Are Fighting Through The Covid!
Well, this has been a really strange year so far, but the kids of Miltonvale are doing a really great job of fighting through Covid – 19.

SC Cross Country Runs at Downs
Lakeside & NPL Meet
Last Thursday, we headed to Downs to run the Northern Plains League meet and the Lakeside Invitational. This year was a little different from past years. Usually, at this meet we run two different league meets and the Lakeside Invitational all at the same time. This year, the non NPL teams ran at 1 p.m. and the NPL schools ran at 4 p.m. It was great for us to allow the runners to know where they stood in placing for the NPL meet. Peyton Walters ran in the Varsity girls’ race. She would run a great pace and around the same time for the meet compared to last year, but came up just short of medaling for . . .

Math News
The 8th graders have been working on tables, graphs, and equations. To reinforce these skills, they did an activity on desmos.com called “Turtle Time Trials.” It was the first time this class had used desmos so I had them work in groups. The activity started with an animation of two turtles racing and they had to write a story that went along with it. Then they completed a table of values that they used to figure the speed of the second turtle. They had to defend their answers by explaining how they got the answer and how it made sense to them. The next section had them create a graph for a race with three turtles. . . .
