Solve problems,
getclues, escape!
Mrs. Web's dass par-
ticipated in a Halloween
Escape Room hosted by
a parent, Lori Oakes. The
escape room required the
students to solve numeri-
cal puzzles to progress to
different levels in the
ganle.
Each group had three
levels they had to unlock
in order to be able to fish
around in the bowl ofgoo
to find a key to unlock
the case. After each group
completed their tasks, all
the groups need to work
together to discover the
master code to unlock the
case. Once the case was
unlocked, the students
were surprised with a deli-
cious snack. The Fabulous
Frogs would like to give
a huge THANK YOU to
Mrs. Oakes for creating
and implementing such a
fun and interactive activity
for our class!

The third graders from T G Scott visited
the Vulcan Rock Quarry again this year.
What an amazing experience for students
to see the mining of granite and rocks and
minerals up dose.The day began
with a lesson and moved to the
buses where the adventure began.
Like the Magic School Bus,
students go down into the quarry,
seeing machines in action, as
they mine the granite. Students
observed various rocks, rock
formations, and animal habitats.
They saw mountains of sand with
weathering and ended up on a na-
ture trail walk created for students
by Vulcan. A big "Thank you" to Vulcan
for a great experience. You Rock! Pictured
is Mrs. Dungan's class.
