Coloma Intermediate School’s Comet Crusade
By Peggy Clore and Paula Hazzard-Reed,
Coloma Intermediate Educators
Most people must be 21 years old to participate in The Amazing Race, but our Coloma 5th graders took part in a similar event, Comet Crusade, on June 6, 2016. Students raced from “Pit Stop” to “Pit Stop”, striving to earn the most points at each stop. Task Masters scored students on correct content but also on students’ ability to respect each other and work as a team. Events included creating stories from story cubes, maneuvering through a grid-maze, matching science vocabulary words with definitions, identifying coins among oiled noodles, making their own salsa, competing in relay races, finding their own shoes within a pile of nearly 200 shoes and more. Teams of 6-7 students raced to each event using their own maps and completing each task within 15 minutes. All groups worked through a total of 14 varied events. At the end of the day students gathered for an assembly where winning teams were recognized and rewarded. The top 5 teams were recognized for their academic prowess and respectful team effort. Each student on the winning team was presented with his/her own camping chair, kites, water bottles and more. The Comet Crusade, was made possible by the efforts of programs and volunteers from Learning for Life, Project L.E.A.N and Chartwell’s Food Service programs. A huge shout out to our community volunteers. Family support is the lifeline for hosting creative events such as these. The Crusade could not have taken place without the assistance of many parents, teachers and community volunteers. When asked if the teachers should make this an annual event, students gave a resounding, “Yes!”
