Which Team Will Win? Super Bowl 2014

Who are you predicting will win the 2014 Super Bowl? I asked my third graders to make a prediction and decorate a helmet to show their vote. I think some of my students chose the Denver Broncos to win because they are neighbors to the west. Others have just heard more about the Broncos because the Chiefs play them twice a year. I have a student who moved to Kansas from Washington state, so she is definitely rooting for the Seahawks, along with a couple other classmates.

 

We will see who wins tomorrow!

Super Bowl Prediction

The votes are in! My third graders have predicted the winners of the 2013 Super Bowl to be the San Francisco 49ers. My students decorated helmets and we created a graph to display their choices.

• Hold a Paper Football Tournament
• This would be a great way to incorporate math into your Super Bowl celebration, measure the distance each student's football goes and well as keeping score & having play-offs
• Be sure you know how to play and how to fold the football
• Create a graph of your students' predictions of the Super Bowl winner
• Have students color in a helmet with their team's colors, examples here and here
• KidZone.com has more resources of Super Bowl winner predictions
• Find the cities of the teams on a US map and where the game is being played
• If you school allows, have a mini Super Bowl party with treats!

Effort Field Trip

Today, we headed to Arrowhead to celebrate the awesome effort of our grade level!

We headed to their Science Sports Lab to check out their bioscience showcases!


Students played with a larger-than-life intestinal system of clear tubes and red balls as the "food" to go into the system. There was also a really cool elliptical machine hooked up to another elliptical machine with a skeleton on it. As the students worked on the machine, they could watch the skeleton move and see how bones move as we exercise!

Students were also able to create healthy meals and do a little cheering for the Chiefs!

We saw the Super Bowl trophy on our tour as well as getting thisclose to the field, but could go running it. It was awesome to have an inside look at the stadium!

Lamar Hunt, Jr. spoke to our group and we got to see the statue of his father, Lamar Hunt, Sr. Lamar Hunt, Sr. has done many, many wonderful things for the sport of football!

Lastly, this is the play the won the Chiefs the Super Bowl in 1965!

Assessment Kick-Off

WE ARE READY TO TAKLE THE TEST!

Today was our State Assessment Kick-Off Assembly! The students watched as the Gardner Edgerton Blazer Football Team show us some moves and got us pumped up for the tests.

Ms. Fretz & Mrs. Dwyer put in a lot of hard work to make this assembly a success and get our kids pumped up to TACKLE THE TEST!

We even got to watch the Blazer Cheerleaders perform one of their great routines!

Next, some of the non-testing teachers and specialists showed us their test-tackling and cheerleading moves!

WE'RE READY FOR THE READING & MATH ASSESSMENTS! BRING ON THE TESTS!!
