To prepare for the Unit 1 math test, Ms. Hyten's third grade class at Crooked River Elementary School played "Capture the Flag." 🏴 Teams received task cards reviewing math content 📚 and took turns solving problems, with one student writing ✏️ and others assisting 🤝. After checking answers with the teacher 👩🏫, they earned flags of varying point values, known only to Ms. Hyten. The team with the highest total flag value won 🏆, making it a fun way to review math, encourage teamwork, and showcase skills. 🎉

🍎🍏 Kingsland Elementary School Lions had an apple-tastic week! Last week, our students dived into the world of apples and learned all about Johnny Appleseed’s incredible contributions to apple orchards. They had a blast tasting different varieties of apples and even charted their favorites. The excitement didn’t stop there! Our young scientists made predictions on whether apples would sink or float and tested their hypotheses. To top it all off, they enjoyed a fun-filled session of bobbing for apples! 🍎🍏

🔒 October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month! 🔒
Did you know that cyber threats are constantly evolving? It's crucial to stay informed and vigilant to protect your personal and professional information. Here are some tips to enhance your cybersecurity:
Update Your Software Regularly: Ensure all your devices and applications are up-to-date. Software updates often include important security patches that protect against vulnerabilities.
Use Strong, Unique Passwords: Avoid using easily guessable passwords. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters, and consider using a password manager to keep track of them.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication: Add an extra layer of security to your accounts by enabling two-factor authentication. This requires a second form of verification beyond just your password.
Be Wary of Phishing Scams: Always double-check the sender's email address and be cautious of clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown sources.
Back Up Your Data: Regularly back up your important files and data to an external hard drive or cloud service. This can save you in case of a ransomware attack or other data loss incidents.
Let's make this October a month of increased awareness and proactive steps towards a safer digital world. Stay cyber safe! 💻🔐
