Do you want to build a snowman? The answer was a resounding “yes!” on Wednesday for fifth-graders in Katie Chainyk and Maran Person’s classes at Thomas O’Brien Academy of Science and Technology (TOAST).
It wasn’t just fun and games – there was plenty of math and competition involved. The two classes headed outside, and students worked in teams to build snowmen, snowwomen and snowbabies. Once their creations were constructed, they measured the height and circumference for each one, and later returned to the classroom to calculate and tabulate their findings.
The two classes vied to see which made the biggest snowman and which made the most snowpeople in a 30-minute time period. Stay tuned for the results!
