Math And Snowshoeing!

     Guess what! We've answered almost 30,000 math questions on IXL! Do you know what IXL is? It is a math website with questions on certain math topics, prizes, and fun! You get medals when you complete all the questions in a section correctly. When you get a question wrong, it bumps you down a couple points but it tells you wh`at to do to get it right. We are having a friendly competition with 3LV to see which class can answer the most math questions this year. We are ahead right now but they are very close! So we need to do even more IXL!

     Snowshoes aren't just tennis rackets tied to your feet!  They are actually large metal shoes that have buckles to attach your boot to. They help you stay up on top of the snow (most of the time!). It is hard to learn, but once you get the hang of it, it gets easier. Right now, we are doing a half lap around the school to warm up. Soon we will be playing games outside like freeze tag and soccer! Racing is also tricky because the snowshoes are heavy and you often fall down!  Snowshoeing is fun because we get to fall down, we do it as a class, and you gain strength! At the end, we are always huffing and puffing!
