8th grade science students applied their knowledge of force and motion to design and construct an egg holder to protect their egg from an initial drop of 8.5 feet. Those who made it through Round 1 moved on to Round 2, where they dropped their egg from a height of 23 feet. Students used planning and budgeting skills along the way to "purchase" materials from Mrs. Rucker's store to make their designs. We had several groups come away with unscathed eggs from the impressive 23 foot drop!
FES had its Cougar Way Assembly yesterday. In the skit, Dorothy, Scarecrow, and Tin Man decided to go to see the Wizard to ask for Dorothy's ruby red shoes back, a math brain for Scarecrow, and a reading heart for Tin Man. On the way to Emerald City, the Tin Man was "rusty" from not practicing reading during Reading is Fun month, and he couldn't read the signs warning them of falling rocks and to beware of lions. The Lion appeared and tried fighting the Scarecrow and Tin Man. When the Lion tried biting Toto, Dorothy slapped him, and he started crying. Dorothy said he was nothing but a coward, and the Lion told her that he had no courage. The Lion said he could read and do math, but he was scared to get up in front of people because he had no courage. He showed her the Smokey the Bear commercial and said that it was supposed to be Smokey the Lion who taught others about preventing forest fires, but on the day of the commercial, he got too nervous and couldn't do it, so they hired the bear instead. Lion said his life has been unBEARable ever since. Dorothy invited the Lion to join them and ask the Wizard for some courage so that he could be the King of the Forest again.
FES had its Cougar Way Assembly yesterday. We recognized Star Cougars and celebrated February birthdays.

Today, SFMS TAG students traveled to Clarksville to put their engineering skills to the test by constructing paper roller coasters! This picture features the two teams that earned the Reliability Award, as their marbles successfully completed the track without any assistance. They were the two teams out of three that did this out of the whole competition! Our students also received the Team Award for outstanding teamwork and collaboration throughout the event. We are so proud of our students for their creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork! Way to represent Sumner-Fredericksburg!
Since FES students have been putting their "hearts" into reading this month (unlike the Tin Man), the Cougar Way Reward today was frosting and decorating a heart cookie. Thank you to Mrs. Westendorf for making her delicious cookies and frosting for us!
