Our Character Counts topic this trimester is Fairness. Student council performed a "Ball in the Cup Challenge" to demonstrate fairness and how it differs from equality. We challenged our own class to a "Ball in the Cup Challenge" and you will see some photos here. Kids knew that the students all had equal components: balls and cups. We had to dig a little deeper to find out if it was fair for all participants. | Some students had time to practice prior to the challenge, some students had a small ball, some had a large ball, some were tired. We talked about how these factors made the contest fair or not. You might ask your child if they know what fairness is. Conferences are coming up in a few weeks, April 8th and 9th.

I found the easiest way to wash off bike grease. Just wiped off my hands on my pants, because they are black. --Anders
