Tuesday Trivia, 8/25/15

Hey folks,

One more reminder to parents that this Thursday, from 6:00-6:45 and 7:00-7:45 is back to school night. I look forward to seeing you there!

On to trivia!

In reading class, we're enjoying a fun story called, "McBroom Tells the Truth." It's about a farmer and his family that moves to Iowa, and a trickster neighbor causes all kinds of problems for them.

On that note, I was curious...what are the largest major crops grown and exported from the United States?

Find the top 5 crops in the US, write them down, and earn some good bucks!

Tuesday Trivia 8/18/15

Hey folks,

Welcome back! First, a reminder: Back-to-School night for parents is NEXT Thursday, August 27th. (I apologize...I think I had the kids write THIS Thursday in their planners!) It starts at 6:00 PM.

Today in class, we learned about the air we breathe and what air is a mixture of (mostly nitrogen and oxygen.) We also know that air is all around us, and that it makes up our atmosphere...we're walking through the atmosphere right now!

For trivia this week, I'd like you to research something we will be discussing in class in the coming days:

What are the different definable layers of our atmosphere? (2 goodbucks)
BONUS: What naturally occurring gases are lighter than oxygen? HINT: Look up the periodic table of elements. (2 goodbucks)

Good luck! And keep practicing the 3x table for Friday!
