Wow! Our Class Made it to 80% on ST Math

Congratulations Room 101! Our class has achieved 

80% of the program as a class! That is quite 

impressive! Keep up that great work and we will 

be at 90% in no time!  Have fun.

JiJi sent us a postcard:

Maori legend says that the Moeraki Boulders were created from the water gourds that 

spilled when the giant canoe that brought the first people to New Zealand crashed into 

the shore. The cracks on the surface of the rocks are from the fishing nets attached 

to the gourds.

But the strange egg-like stones scattered all along the southeastern coast of New Zealand 

are actually septarian concretions that formed in marine mud on the ocean floor. The nearly 

perfect spheres were left behind when the mud washed away over the course of millions of 

years. The boulders have a hollow center, and sometimes they crack open, just like an egg. 

Imagine the size of the penguin that hatched from an egg that big!
