Kindergartners love Green Eggs and Ham, Sam I Am!
Submitted by Echo Young, Pine Ridge Elementary
Every single one of Ms. Echo Young's Kindergarten students tried Green Eggs and Ham at the end of "Green Week". They counted twelve eggs as they were put into the bowl, watched as the yellow eggs turned green and then watched as the scrambled eggs cooked and became ready to eat. Most of them even enjoyed seconds! "We do so like Green and Eggs and Ham! Thank you! Thank you, Sam, I Am." During the week, they learned that yellow and blue mixed together make green and that 12 eggs are called a "dozen".

Submitted by Rita DeWitt, Livingston Intermediate School
Ms.DeWitt's 5th grade Social Studies classes recently completed a project to determine the most Kid-Friendly state in the U.S. They researched statistics on everything from crime rate to roller coasters and reading scores to ice cream parlors. Each group presented a poster on the state they chose and then the class voted on the most Kid-Friendly state. Two out of four classes chose Colorado with Florida and Minnesota coming in with one class vote each. The kids had a great time doing the research and learned a great deal about how our 50 states compare to one another.
