Function Machines

Despite our shortened Monday, the 403 Scholars had a big day! Before winter break they began to create their function machines. Function machines are imaginary machines that process numbers according to a certain rule. A number (input) is put into the machine, undergoes the rule, and is transformed into a second number (output). The Scholars put some of the Carrboro Staff to the test to see if they could figure out their function machine rules!

Rosie and Shunte' show off their function machines as they prepare for our visitors.

Timmeya listens closely as Mrs. Bivins whispers the rule of her function machine.

Miss Fisher recalls her multiplication facts in order to figure out Pema's rule.

Mrs. Rohner checks out Caleb's input numbers.

Alexandre listens closely as Mrs. Sharpless tries to figure out his rule.

Thanks to everyone for stopping by to support the 403 Scholars!

Game Day Party

The 403 Scholars filled the class pom-pom jar! Everyone nominated ideas for what the class reward should be and then voted. It was overwhelmingly decided that we would have a game day party! It was a huge success!

Zoe and Camden explore a new matching game.

Aye Tar makes a move in a game of checkers with Thein.

Shunte' and Jack give Alexandre a skeptical look during a game of Guess Who?

First Quarter Perfect Attendance

Congratulations to the 403 Scholars who had perfect attendance for the first nine weeks of school. What an accomplishment! Way to go Zoe, Thein, Oh Kler, Pema, Timmeya, Alexandre, Shunte', Lara, Cate, and Camden!

Buzzing Bees

We have started buzzing during Reading Workshop. When we buzz we share our thoughts about our book in a small group. Here is how a couple Scholars feel about buzzing:

"I feel happy because I get to share my thoughts with my group." - Shunte'

"I like buzzing because it tells other people how I feel about books." - Shawn


Pema listens closely as Caleb begins to buzz about his book.

Oh Kler, Lara, and Shunte' are busy buzzing.

Sydney is so interested in Aye Tar's book!

Look at all those notes! Jack and Kyrin are excellent buzzers!
