Purcell Intermediate School

That's a wrap on week three! In Miss Windham's class, her students learned their content in the form of playing and team collaboration! ✨

🗼After mastering place value and base 10 form, they held a base 10 tower competition. They could only use a certain number to create the tallest tower and the tallest was 51 inches!

🧑‍🍳Her students also worked on sequencing, communication skills, listening, and team work by modeling a pizza restaurant. There was a customer, a server, a chef, and two supply managers in each group. They made tasty-looking pizzas! 🍕

🥦🐔🎮 PE FUN DAY! 🎮🐔🥦

We packed a LOT of learning, movement, and FUN into PE on Friday! 🙌

🍎 Go, Slow & Whoa Foods!
We learned how to make healthy choices by sorting foods into three categories:
💚 GO Foods – healthy choices with little or no added sugar, saturated fat, or salt.
💛 SLOW Foods – sometimes foods that we can enjoy in moderation.
❤️ WHOA Foods – foods that tend to have the most added sugar, added salt, and saturated fat.

Then we took the learning to the gym! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

🐔 Super Chicken – An interactive RPS (Rock, Paper, Scissors) game where students battle their way through levels to become IMMORTAL! 👑 Once they reach the top, they climb onto the bench and show us their BEST immortal pose! 😂💪

🍄 YOSHI! – One of our invasion-game favorites! Students worked on movement, strategy, teamwork, spatial awareness, and having FUN while competing. 🎮🔥

🏈❤️ And we LOVE seeing our Purcell Dragon spirit showing up in PE! So many students came dressed up and ready to cheer on our Dragons for the season opener football game! 🐉🏈 We’re loving the school spirit!

Learning, moving, laughing, and cheering on our Dragons… THAT’S A GREAT DAY IN PE! ❤️🖤🐉
