Numbers EVERYWHERE!

Cute! Cute! Cute!  Check out this Prezi our librarian, Ms. Stenulson, did with the first graders!  She based her lesson on the book, Missing Math by Loreen Leedy.  After seeing all the numbers the students found, come check out the book in our library.  Missing Math

Purple Sage takes 2nd Place in the Bluebonnets

Vanessa Stenulson, Purple Sage's new librarian, encouraged students in grades 3-5 to read the 20 Bluebonnet nominee books.  The librarians met together to create questions from the Bluebonnet books and set them up in a PowerPoint to be used with The Turning Points clickers.    Ms. Stenulson had the students of Purple Sage who had read at least ten books get together for a quiz  to select the top five students. As a team, they represented Purple Sage in the Battle of the Bluebonnets at Sommer Elementary.  This was the first time Purple Sage went to the Battle of the Bluebonnets, so we were excited to win 2nd place.  There was only one missed question!!  Pictures were taken at the Battle.  Watch this Animoto created by Ms. Stenulson to see how excited the students were over their win!
