Learning Night

                                                   By Maya L., Teddy L., Brady S., & Calvin C.
Learning night was on April 16 in the school, to help kids with their math, reading,  and other skills. Learning night was organized by the Hampton PTA.
There was a writing contest where kids wrote stories and only a few of them got to read them in front of school.
    There were lots of fun games to play, like  a game where there were cups that have numbers on it that players stack up, the two cups under would equal the one on top of them, leading up to one cup/number and if the player did all the ones at the table, they get a ticket.  Another game was making tiny sculptures with marshmallows and toothpicks. There was also a station with books that students could pick out. If the kids played the games they got tickets they could use the tickets to put in raffles and only a few would win.

 There were a lot of teachers reading at different times.  The teachers that read are Mrs. Nance, Mrs. McClung, and Mrs. Budnichuk Zoey W., a fourth grade student, won the  estimating game, where there were two baskets of candy. One with M&Ms for 3-5 graders (intermediate) and one with hershey kisses for K-2 graders  (primary.) For the M&Ms there were 1,810, for the hershey kisses there were 260. Downstairs were the guessing games, sculptures with the marshmallow and toothpicks, and the trail mix station where you added fractions and made trail mix with those fractions (of cups.)  Mr. Conway, the principal, not only read at learning night but also participated in some of the activities with his daughter.  He explained that he helped read the entries for the writing contests, but that the PTA planned all of the activities.
