A Hoot with Nesbitt
On 5 and 6 November 2015, American
children’s author, Kenn Nesbitt gave students
from grades 2 to 5 a smashing introduction to humor
through poetry. He presented workshops for each class
that included readings, creative exercises and a lot of fun.
Students had a soaring time filled with amusing poems, funny
stories, and plenty of tummy licking singing. He had all of
them singing along to his poems in no
time.
A Shower of Awards
Middle and high school students who participated in the Math
League Competition, in association with Stanford University, the
National Science Foundation and the State University of New York
at Stony Brook, almost all won prizes. Of the 46 students who took
the test, four students won first prize, 14 students won second prize,
and 25 students won third prize. Their performance was applauded.
The Keystone community hopes they continue to enjoy more
number crunching opportunities.
