Math Challenge
The Randall PTA is sponsoring the Math Challenge again this year. All grade levels are encouraged to participate. Math Challenge is an optional math enrichment opportunity offered at many other schools as well. A total of 15 math challenges will be published throughout the school year (every other week). Students are not expected to answer all the questions. They do not need to work on the problems by themselves - we encourage parents, siblings, and friends to get involved in discussing and solving them
Congrats to all the students who finished the fifth challenge!
Math Challenge #6 is available at https://www.mathinaction.org/randall.html.
The Spanish-translated version is 
attached here It is due on Thursday, January 5th.

How to submit it?  
You can submit the Math Challenge to the PTA mailbox in the office or take pictures of the pages and email them to randall.math.challenge@outlook.com.

Randall Garden

Starting in November, we will focus on adding lots of plants in the garden, beginning with the Fruit Tree section. Each class has its own fruit tree and surrounding planting bed with companion plants they are responsible for during the school year. The class will plant their own companion plants but could use help digging the holes since the ground is hard clay. November through January, we will plant companion plants for one fruit tree row at a time. 

  • Saturday, January 14, from 9 to noon

    • Fruit Tree Row 2

      • volunteers pre-dig row 2 fruit tree companion plant holes

      • January 16-20: Class plants companion plants during school with Ms. Anderson for row 2

      • (drip irrigation is already installed)

  • Saturday, January 21, from 9 to noon

    • Fruit Tree Row 1

      • volunteers rake mulch aside, pre-dig row 1 fruit tree companion plant holes

      • January 23-27: Class plants companion plants during school with Ms. Anderson for row 1

  • Saturday, January 28, from 9 to noon

    • Fruit Tree Row 1 continued
