Did you know Geometry could be a ton of fun? Mrs. Stephen's fourth grade class at Pocomoke Middle School completed a fun math activity using tasty manipulates to create line segments, lines, and angles. We used candy corn, marshmallows, and pretzel sticks. Before we used our manipulates, we learned that a line segment is part of a line that has two endpoints. The pretzels represented the line and the marshmallows represented the endpoints. Then, Mrs. Stephen's class made lines and used candy corn because a line has no endpoints. Finally, we made acute angles, obtuse angles, and right angles. Acute angles are angles less than 90 degrees, obtuse angles are greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees, and right angles are exactly 90 degrees. This was a fun math activity and tasty too!

7th graders from Pocomoke Middle School have been supporting the Kenya Connect program as their service learning project. Kenya Connect puts kids in the United States in touch with students in Kenya through a pen pal program. As part of their service project, these students raised $270 through coin drives, bake sales and a faculty casual day to benefit Kenyan schools.
