After the performance, we all went to the park to eat our lunches. It was a beautiful day out with the sun shining and the wind held off long enough for us to enjoy the great outdoors for a day. This Friday, a select group of 5th graders will show off their ballroom dancing skills at the Steifel Theatre for a Salina Concert in front of the whole community. All students worked very hard and did a wonderful job during their performance today. They made Heusner Elementary and all of it's teachers and parents very proud. What a great group of 5th graders!

Ballroom Dancing
Today, the whole 5th grade went to perform their ballroom dancing routine for the State Conference of Principals at the Holidome. The students looked very professional in their dress clothes and looked great. They all danced through and around the tables while the guests at the conference at their lunch. Students performed the meranquie and the swing jitterbug in front of about 200 principals from all over the state of Kansas. The performance was followed up with a rousing roar of applause from all the guests.
The Great Egg Roll
Last week, Mr. Boyer's math class took part in a nationwide internet project called the Great Egg Roll. Our task was to roll a 2" plastic egg and then measure to see how far it went in feet and inches. After getting everyone's calculations, we then converted our results to only inches and we had to remember that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches. Our final task was to find the mean number of inches of the whole class.Our class then wanted to see if the egg would roll farther with something in it. So we decided to wad up one whole sheet of paper and stuff it inside and record our results again. You can go to the following website to see our results.
