Whale skeleton visit rocks TBS!
Yesterday was one of the most mind-blowing days in recent memory at TBS, with the on-site visit of an entire gray whale skeleton by the Mission Science Workshop arranged by parent Sherry Hsi. Led by Dan Sudran of Mission Science, students assembled the skeleton, talked about the life of gray whales, and investigated the size and scale of the animal in relation to their own bodies. Check out the pics below!

Today's math club blog post
Sent by Sima Misra, Differentiated Curriculum Specialist:
Today in Math Club students enjoyed puzzling over how to buy 100 candies with $15 if cotton candy costs $1, candy bars 50 cents, and gumballs 5 cents (clearly an old problem, given the costs!). There were also geometric puzzles carving out equal area, a word puzzle similar to Sudoku, a zigzag puzzle, and some Chinese New Year puzzles, since this Sunday is the start of the Yin Water Snake year. Finally, some students learned a new game which would be easy to play at home--Fantastic Four.
