Dear Parents,                                                             

 We will have a special event to reinforce math skills in our classroom. This will be a chance for students to share and work as a team and then submit their results to a global project. The project is called the O.R.E.O. Project – which stands for Our Really Exciting Online Project –and is hosted by a teacher in Southern California. This will be her 13th year of hosting this project. Since 1999, students from every state in the US, almost every Canadian province, and several other countries have participated in this project and submitted their results online to share with each other.

Each student will have 2 chances to stack as many oreos as they can. After every participant has recorded their stack counts, we will take everyone’s highest count and average them together for ONE CLASS AVERAGE. Besides stacking oreos, we will be using the cookies in math, science, art, language, and more!!

Results are in! We had a class average of 18 cookies stacked. The most in a single stack was 23 cookies. It was a fun and tasty project! Your child will bring home a participation certificate soon!
