The AGWSR 7th/8th Grade LITQUEST Teams met at the Clear Lake Surf Ballroom: "The Palms" for the 2nd Annual LITQUEST Championship! This year, SIX schools were included in the competition hosted by AGWSR and Okoboji Schools. Among the districts represented, fourteen teams participated in solving puzzles, a written test based on a list of 18 books, and a random book facts buzz in game.
Students were encouraged to get to know each other through icebreakers and group collaborations. Students also enjoyed pizza from the Clear Lake OP!
Though we didn't come away with a medal this year, we did get a unique opportunity to walk through the Surf Museum and experience the iconic history that it is known for.
Most importantly, there was a lot of learning and a whole lot of laughs!
*We appreciate Randi Buseman for donating her day to assist us with the competition. We also appreciate Library Associates Jen Draheim and Jayna Hofer for supporting the students along the way!

The 8th graders collected data, graphed it and created a trend line to determine the amount of rubber bands needed. What a great way to celebrate the end of a fantastic school year! 🥳🎉

The Kindergarten classes had a great time on their field trip to the Youth Pavilion today!
The 4th graders enjoyed a day of learning about bike safety and then getting the opportunity to bike to Prairie Bridges. While at Prairie Bridges we celebrated their graduation from elementary school with a lunch and some fun activities of gaga ball, volleyball, football, rock painting, bracelet making, and making slushie lemonade with a bike blender. Lastly they got to take a picture with their class tree!

Mrs. Price's class worked on designing their own games during Cougars Critical Thinkers class. In groups, students decided the format and rules. They also made the boards, game pieces, materials, and the math problems that were used for the game. They had to play the game themselves to make sure it worked. After that, students got to play others' games!
