MATH SURVIVOR Season 2
The April results are in and the Green Graphers tallied the most points this month and they are now in the lead, much to the dismay of the other tribes (particularly the Red Reasonsors who have lost their narrow lead).
The idol again wears the 4th grade cap.
Seven classes tied for eligibility for the Silver Torch award, so a name was drawn and the winner is Mrs. Cogan's 1st Grade Class.
A record breaking eleven classes were awarded 100% Participation Coconuts this month: Mrs. Cogan, Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Kasprzak, Mrs. Wells, Mr. Sheil, Mrs. Devine, Mrs. Streeter, Mrs. McDonald, Mrs. Noonan, and Mr. Sag.
Our new tribe standings are as follows:
Green Graphers 25,583
Red Reasoners 25,411
Blue Balancers 22,578
Orange Operators 21,788
May Challenges are due Wednesday 5/30 and this is the final challenge of the year!
A school-wide Tribal Council assembly will be held on Monday, June 11th at 9:00. At this time, we will hold our closing ceremony and the Season 2 Idol Winner will be announced.
