Monthly Challenge

The Monthly Challenge promotes creative thinking for our K-5 students. All students are encouraged to participate! Research shows that with opportunities and encouragement, we can all improve our creative thinking skills. According to The World Economic Forum, the top three job skills needed for 2020 and beyond are complex problem solving, critical thinking, and creativity. The Monthly Challenge is a fun way for our students to begin developing these important skills. Students must clearly label their creations with their name and class. Challenges are displayed at school and then returned with a certificate of participation. Please check out WOS Parent Square Updates for the Monthly Challenge!

Peeps Challenge

For many years the Washington Post featured a Peeps contest, in which people from all over created dioramas depicting scenes that reflected the country as they saw it, but populated with marshmallow bunnies and chicks. As of 2017, The Washington Post Magazine shared with readers that it will no longer host the annual Peeps contest due to lack of readership and as a result a lack of submissions.

WOS wants to keep the “Peep” tradition alive! Your challenge this month is to create a diorama of a famous scene in history, in current events or a favorite scene from a book. The one rule is that all the characters in the diorama must be played by Peeps (chicks or bunnies).

Below is a famous entry from the Peeps Show 2014: ‘I Have a Dream: Martin Luther King Jr. Addresses the Peeple’

Rules:

  1. Create a diorama of a famous scene in history, in current events, or a favorite scene from a book. The one rule is that all the characters in the diorama must be played by Peeps (chicks or bunnies).
  2. Make your diorama using a shoe box or comparable item of reasonable size.
  3. Entries must include a creative title and description.
