Today, Mrs.McMillan and Mrs.Moyer used the SPIAA high school track times and distances for some real-life comparing numbers. Montezuma 5th grade students were given several track events and had to compare, then put the times/distances in order from the longest distance to the shortest and the fastest time to the slowest. The students had fun seeing the Rebel times and distances and they also had fun trying to guess which Bucklin kids are related to Mrs. Moyer.
