Cook Families are the best! Thank you for supporting our school. We have another busy week ahead. Details are in the newsletter at this link: https://secure.smore.com/n/2quy4
Mission League is a global competition through Mission IO (previously Infini-D Lab) where any elementary or middle school class can compete on one mission with two difficulty levels. Normally, missions are based on grade-specific subject matter; but competition missions are even more about skills and the students’ ability to work together as a class and solve really complex problems together as a team. Engagement from every single participating student is critical to mission success and high placement on the leaderboard.
Mrs. Free has been leading our classes through Mission Leagues these last few weeks and the results are in!
Drum roll......
The top class at Cook Elementary in the K-1st grade category is Mrs. Flint’s class with a ranking of 8th out of 60 competing classes.
The top class at Cook Elementary in the 2nd-3rd grade category was Mrs. Meadows class with a ranking of 4th out of 99 competing classes.
The top class at Cook Elementary in the 4-9th grade category was Mrs. Wright’s class with a ranking of 5th out of 203 competing classes.
Way to go Cook Cougars and special thanks to Mrs. Free and her dedication in helping our students to grow, learn, and succeed all while having fun.
