Extraordinary learning with ordinary boxes

Updated Tue, Nov 3rd
playing cardboard game

Fifth graders in Mrs. Yang’s class took on the Cardboard Challenge and gained skills in math, design, engineering and more.

They were inspired by the movie “Caine’s Arcade” to create games from cartons, egg crates, and other ordinary materials. A project of the Imagination Foundation, the Global Cardboard Challenge lets children explore their interests and passions while teaching valuable "21st century" skills like critical thinking, resourcefulness, perseverance and teamwork. The students made prototypes, tested, and modified their designs to prepare for a school event featuring their hand-made games of skill.

They also learned some business basics, such as marketing, pricing, and the importance of considering feedback from “customers." Their event raised over $200 in donations to the Second Harvest food bank.

Fall Book Fair

Updated Wed, Oct 28th

The Fall Book Fair last week was a great success.  We sold almost 1,600 books!  That translates into almost 285,000 reading minutes by our kids.  Plus, we raised almost $4,500 for the Forest Hill and classroom libraries.  The Fall Book Fair is the main source of funding for the Forest Hill Library. 

A big thank you to all the volunteers who helped with the Fair and to all the kids, parents, and family members who visited the Fair to help encourage a love of reading.

If you missed the Fair or couldn't find a book you were looking for, our Online Fair goes through Friday, Oct 30th and includes free shipping of your books to the school:  http://bookfairs.scholastic.com/homepage/foresthill2015
