Happy Love Your Pet Day

Our Human Impact Project work is underway. Student groups are beginning to check things off their created to-do lists, meet with stakeholders, and begin creating literature that promotes their solution. We hope to have a few of them up and running by the end of the month.

For Science, student teams in Blue and Red worked on getting their prototypes to work. This included figuring out how to place and anchor gear trains and circuits. There is a lot of learning going on! Homework students are encouraged to bring in any materials they can use on their individual solar race car. We are also looking for wheels and axles. Got anything like that around the house? THANK YOU to all the families who have sent in contributions for this project. We couldn't be doing all this without your support.

Yellow and Blue read our penultimate chapter of A Wrinkle of Time today, a chapter Mr. More loves for its wisdom and thoughtfulness. As a result, after reading students were assigned a 3-2-1, in which they had to write 3 memorable or meaningful parts of the reading, 2 quotes or questions, and one quote or question. Most finished in class, but those that did not will have to complete as homework.

The Red and Green Humanities rotations continued to work on their C-S-I assignment. Students will have a bit of class time tomorrow to work on this but it is due at the end of class. Students also continued reading The City of Ember. Students worked with a partner, practicing close reading and analytical skills to identify important details in the text as well as wonderings that they may have. HOMEWORK: C-S-I due tomorrow

Mrs. Stalheim is still sick, so kids continued their individual learning on Prodigy or with the Burj Khalifa project. Please make sure lessons 1, 3, 4, and 7 are complete in the workbook.
