This is our first year participating in the O.R.E.O. project and we had a blast. We used the worksheets provided by Jennifer for a couple of days leading up to cookie stacking day. The kids had a great time with the whole thing and it was interesting and fun to watch how each child went about stacking the cookies in their own way. Thanks Jennifer! We are looking forward to other projects.

Hello to you all from the land down under

We have 32 students in our class and live in a wine growing district known as "The Barossa Valley."

We have enjoyed a few technospud projects in past years. It is not easy to find OREO cookies in South Australia. Those of you who live in the states will know they are readily available in America. However, we have tracked some down and will carry out our challenge in the next couple of days. Go Aussie go!

What I am looking foward to: This is only my second year doing the O.R.E.O. cookie project, but I am so psyched. My kids just loved it last year. I am sure the kids this year will react the same. We start back on the 7th, so I will try to do it the second or third week of school after we have established some rules/routines. Hopefully I did this wiki correctly.

I have never done this project before but I love the idea of it. I have a technical question (about stacking). If the child builds a base out of cookies before going up, do you only count the cookies that go vertically as opposed to horizontal?

Introductios Are in Order SideBar

 

From JEN -- Good question........they are only to stack ONE on top of another so NO BASES allowed.

This is my 4th or 5th O.R.E.O. project. Although the focus differs from year to year, I always enjoying combining several of the previous Oreo projects with the new one. Parents have joined in the fun during Open house, and even our principal has taken the challenge. I am looking forward to working with the WIKI. School starts Sept 5th. We will have a "yummy" good time! :-)

I have a question for those of you who have participated in this project before: I have 20 students. Can you tell me about how many bags of cookies I need for this fun project?

 

Thanks, Laura

 

From Michele-

I usually buy 3-4 bags of oreos. We use 2 for stacking and the rest we "E-A-T!"

This is very exciting! I have never wiki'd and this is my first time to participate in any online project.

I saved this link a long time ago and hope that it will give others some ideas.

I'm not sure what the relay and Oreo Crush contests are so if you have any ideas--do tell!

 

I have been in school for three days. Last week we did a "Second Day in Second Grade" event. I planned the day around vocabulary that means two--such as double. Of course we had Double Stuff Oreos and graphed how we ate it. I gave them two cookies. After they ate the first one I asked them to sign under a heading on the whiteboard stating if they ate cookie first, creme first, or like a sandwich. (Later I made a big cookie out of bulletin board paper and had the students sign on the part of the cookie that represented how they ate it.I had the top cookie be "cookie first". Cream filling was "cream first" and bottom cookie was "Like a sandwich".

 

I love the idea above that said parents would be participating in an Oreo activity at Back to School Night. I'm going to think about that. I'm also going to start asking for donations of Oreos at the nearby Wal-marts.

 

Jen- thanks for broadening our horizons! Tina

 

FROM JEN -- WOW, though the newspaper article was very vague -- BUT it gave me TONS of ideas for future O.R.E.O. projects!! Thanks so much for sharing. And you are welcome -- but it is you who are broadening your horizons. I just offered the idea, you are the one who decided to run with it!! Good job!!!

This will be my first Oreo project. This is the first year in the past four years that I will actually have internet in my classroom. I am excited first of all because the project is soooo cool and it covers so many standards. Secondly, who can resist an Oreo? Thirdly, we have little first grade buddys that we are going to do our project with. This is a great crossover activity that can be utlized across the grade levels. And lastly, it is with many of you across the United States and the world. It don't get much better than that.

A big hello from Mrs. Spencer's 4th grade class to all you OREO stacking others! These excited kiddies used the OREO project as a way to understand counting in math. They loved it! The OREO project was a fun way to learn how many OREOs could be stacked vertically and this 4th grade class plans to do more Techno Spud projects in the future!
