On Wednesday, September 24th, the fourth grade classes at Windsor Hill Elementary will be participating in the O.R.E.O project. The O.R.E.O (Our Really Excellent Online) project is an online, nationwide project which involves a little bit of math, a little bit of English, a little bit of art and technology, and a LOT of cookies…Oreo cookies to be exact.
Project OREO is a contest/ exhibition to see how many Oreo cookies kids can stack before the stack tumbles. After students are finished stacking, they will record the number of cookies they stacked on an excel spreadsheet with their classmates, and manually average number of cookies they stacked. They will also complete a writing assignment related to the activity and document their experience online using RCA Small Wonder digital cameras. Finally, all of the Oreos will be used to build sculptures in Ms. Johnson’s art class. Stay tuned to this page to see the results!
If you are interested in donating some Oreos for our cause, please contact Anne-Marie Wilcox at amawilcox@dorchester2.k12.sc.us .
Let’s get stacking!
