Collective Understandings:
-Many students have
not contributed to the collective understandings for this last round.
-They were asked to
complete both a math and a science for May 10th.
-Students that have
not added their information will still be allowed to add their contributions
over the weekend but it will be coded as late on Powerschool.
MATH
-We spent lots of
time this week working on our understanding of area and perimeter.
-Students will have
covered this before, but need some time to reaffirm their understanding.
-We started working
on out backyard designs. Ask your kids what they have included in their work!
SCIENCE
-We worked
throughout the week on simulations that look at series and parallel circuits.
-We also looked at
some of the materials that might be conductors of electricity and what might be
insulators.
-Students are encouraged
to check out the PhetLab online through the University of Colorado as they have
a great product that is easy to use and free.
ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
-All students have
now had the opportunity to work with both Achiru(graphic comic artist) and
Audrey Lane Cockett (Spoken Poetry).
-We are very excited
to have students attend the Celebration of Learning on May 16th from
5-7pm as this when we will be sharing our work with families.
-Students need to
sign up for a poetry presentation time. If you are planning to attend please
talk with Mrs. Simmons or Mrs. Croswell to find a time slot that works!
