#VanguardPride 4th graders in Mrs. Stadler's class were busy this week reviewing decimals. They created number lines to identify and locate equivalent fractions and decimals.
Very creative, and the kids are ending the year on a strong note!
On Monday, Mr. Fuchs took his HS classes kayaking on Lake Mendota.
Looks like a beautiful day and fun was had by all!

Last Thursday (5/9), the #VanguardPride second graders went to the UW Geology Museum.
They saw lots of really cool things like fossils, crystals, glow in the dark rocks, and a huge globe! The kiddos are wrapping up the Rock Unit and fossils are being introduced this week! Perfect timing to visit.
7th grade math reviewed how to find the surface area of prisms by playing a review game called "Shoes in a Shoe Box."
Students were split into teams, and each team got to be represented by a pair of shoes, such as Hey Dudes, Vans, Nike, and Skechers. As students completed problems correctly, they got to put a picture of their team shoe in one of four different shoe boxes. Each shoe box represented a point value, but students didn't know the values. Students worked to complete as many problems as possible, so they could put as many shoes into the boxes as possible. At the end of the class, Mrs. Meinholz revealed the point value of each shoe box, and the students calculated their score for the game.
The game was a motivating way to get some work done and review for a quiz!
Fun learning!!! #VanguardPride

A Bike Rodeo is coming to Mazomanie on Saturday, May 19th, 2024 from 9:00 am - 11:00 am at the Mazomanie Fire Department. The program is designed to promote safe riding habits and skills for younger riders typically ages 5-12 but all ages are welcome.
Participants will start with a helmet check for proper fit. A limited number of helmets will be available for free if a rider does not have one. There will also be a safety check station and minor bike adjustments.
Participants will ride their bikes through courses that give them safety basics, help them develop skills to avoid typical crashes, and learn to watch their surroundings for hazards.
The Mazomanie Fire Department will also have trucks out for viewing.
Participants will all get a free first aid kit, and a coupon for ice-cream at Base Camp Café in the Village of Mazomanie. Participants will also get a chance to win one of 4 bikes that local sponsors donated.
