Family Math Night

Family math night was on October 28, 2010. Ms. Skov and Ms. Randall decided to do a Halloween theme. This event gave students and parents a chance to meet Nightingale’s entire great math department. This was Nightingale’s 4th annual family math night. Lots of parents went and had lots of fun doing games with the math teachers. There were so many events, there were fun computer games in the computer lab, there were also lots of games prepared by math teachers. Next year there will also be another family math night so go and experience all the fun there is.

Science Bowl

By: Daniel, Timothy, Angelica, and Kin
What is the science bowl? We interviewed Mr.Meyerhof and he said that the Science Bowl is where kids compete against other schools to make it into the National Competition. These kids have to answer math and science questions under 5 seconds. The Science Bowl started in 2008 at Nightingale. Mr. Meyerhof, Mr. Clark and Mr. Aston are in charge of Science Bowl at our school. Nation wide students have been participating in Science Bowl for almost 30 years. The National Science Bowl has been organized and sponsored by the United States Department Of Energy since 1991.

Halloween Traditions

Halloween is one of the oldest traditions that is celebrated. 1500 years ago, people would offer food so that the dead won’t bother them. Other people tried to scare away the evil spirits with scary decorations. This celebration would be considered All Hallow’s Day. The day before was named All Hallow’s Eve, All Hallow’s Eve was shortened to, Halloween.
Trick or treating is also very old. Tricksters would want to prank people constantly. For them to stop, you must offer up, a treat. The tricksters would stop bothering that person and go to the next person. Our current tradition now is to go door-to-door asking for candy in a costume. Sometimes the houses are decorated to be scary as well. We hope you have a safe Halloween.
