Teams of gifted students from Canon-McMillan, Chartiers-Houston, Fort Cherry, McGuffey, Trinity, and Washington school districts competed in a grades 4 and 5 Literature Festival at North Strabane Intermediate School on January 19th. Prior to the competition, students read four novels and engaged in enrichment extensions using the English Language Arts standards. At the event, students competed in trivia, vocabulary, mystery items, and a STEM laundry-themed challenge (From Al Capone Does My Shirts!). Readers also had the chance to make an origami bookmark during their snack break. Congratulations to Antonio, Declan, Drake, and Kasen for coming in 1st place at the event! |
