PIE, OH MY!
This week 3rd grade sampled different flavors of pie. We wrote an opinion/descriptive paragraph based on our favorite pie. Thank you, parents for donating all items and volunteering to serve pie to our class! The most popular flavor of pie was…Pumpkin!

Thank you parents, grandparents, and teachers who have served our country. Special thanks to our very own, Mary Nottingham, for her service.
We had a great time honoring Veteran's Day with the pledge by Zoe Allie, our choir singing the National Anthem, and our band playing patriotic songs for the school to hear.
We are so thankful for your sacrifice so that we can live in this wonderful, free country!
What happens to surfaces outside when it rains? 2nd grade students carried out an investigation to see which surface soaks up water the fastest. We tested concrete, grass, and soil. The winner was grass.

Here are some pictures from our “50th day of school” celebration today if you would like to use.
Kindergarten celebrated the 50th day of school “1950’s” style! Students searched for and wrote 50 sight words, represented the number 50 in a variety of ways, and read books that were published in the 1950’s. A sock hop and root beer floats were the highlight of the celebration!
Last weekend Greenwood Debate competed at the Republic High School Invitational Tournament with 27 schools from across Missouri. The team returned with 3 tournament championships! Laila Ozturk won TWO first place awards – Novice International Extemporaneous Speaking and Novice Informative Speaking! Tristan Khoshyomn was the tournament champion in Varsity Original Oratory.
Two Greenwood teams advanced to the top 8 in Varsity Policy Debate. Tristan and Mary Gabriel were seeded 3rd after preliminary round victories over Nixa, Parkview, and Classical Christian and finished as quarterfinalists. Ethan Duff and Marcus Ryan were seeded 7th after prelims and lost a quarterfinal debate against Glendale. Laila and Abby Ryan finished 3rd in Novice Policy debate.
Other Greenwood finalists included: Marcus Ryan (6th – Varsity International Extemp), Abby Ryan (5th – Novice US Extemp and 6th Novice Informative) and Mohan Grewal (7th – Novice International Extemp). Mary Gabriel was also a semi-finalist in US Extemp and Informative Speaking, Ethan Duff was a semi-finalist in US Extemp, and Tristan Khoshyomn was a semi-finalist in International Extemp.
