Spy Day

4th graders arrived at school today to discover some shocking news...Mango was missing! We met at headquarters to get our briefing from Agent Bryson and get caught up to speed. Quickly, 4th graders were transformed into spies and ready to use their fictional story element knowledge, mathematical skills, and problem-solving strategies in order to gather clues and uncover the secret information.

We started by opening our top-secret mission file which had our first clue, spy notebook, invisible pen, and helpful disguise.

Spies discovered the QR code took them to the spy lab where they hunted for hidden clues. There were codes to crack, puzzle pieces to put together, hidden magnifying glasses to use, and mystery high-tech pictures. Check it out:

    

Head to the full spy lab and give it a try yourself here. 

Correctly solving the different clues and discovering the mystery words granted agents access to the confidential information. Secret agents safely rescued our beloved Mango. Just another day in the life of a 4th-grade spy.

Case closed!

Klipfel Cash

Written by Guest Bloggers: Emmie and Mia

Klipfel Kash is something we earn if we are acting good. Once you have saved up enough money, you can go onto Klipazon. Klipazon is basically Amazon, where you can buy all different kinds of things to use in the classroom.  

Here are some of the things you can buy. Hoop time is where we can have ten shots. We also have Make Your Mark, so basically it's where you can write your name on a wood table to leave your mark forever in Miss Klipfel's classroom. 

We have a Custom Cursor where you can change Miss Klipfel’s computer cursor. Stick-tastic Stickers we can pick stickers. Fly Guy, which is where we can sit and do nothing for 10 minutes. You can literally do nothing; isn’t that cool? Wait, that's not all. We can even buy taking our shoes off in the classroom or changing our name for the day.

Another thing you can buy is Spin Your Luck. You can get three spins on a little machine for every win you get 10 dollars. You can earn Klipfel Kash by helping each other, being a role model, and working quietly. We love earning Klipfel Cash!
