Mrs. Norton and Mrs. Hoyerman’s first graders came up with fifty-seven equations equaling 77 (the number of days they’ve been in school) today! They were given 5 minutes to write as many ways to make 77 as they could on their marker boards, then listed the equations not repeated for the class total which was a new record! Great collaborative work first graders! #gibraltarelementary #gibraltar24

The seventh grade Tech Ed. class, taught by Mr. Hatch, made shelves. Mr. Hatch taught them how to measure, cut boards, sand, and how to assemble them. The students were excited to choose the color to paint the shelves. They turned out beautifully! Mr. Hatch and the students worked very hard so the shelves were ready to go home in time for Christmas.
