First Grade
1st graders are continuing to apply detective thinking to various problems. They have just started to explore insects, including what three things all insects must-have. Students will select one insect for further investigation on their own.
Second Grade
2nd graders are using magician (or visual) thinking in different problems. We have also been learning how different cultures around the world are similar and different from our own. Students will select one country for further investigation.
Third Grade
3rd graders have been learning about different planets in our solar system and what would be the various needs of a space colony. Students are now working with a partner to plan a space colony for one planet they have selected to colonize.
Fourth Grade
4th-grade students wrapped up our bridge unit by presenting to MoDOT and testing their bridge models. They have now started our rocketry unit by exploring the history of rocketry throughout the world.
Fifth Grade
5th grade has been continuing to learn about architecture. They recently researched a local building a replicated the facade of that building using either clay or foamboard. I was incredibly proud of the persistence they showed during this event.
Happy Valentine's Day
I hope that you all enjoy a day filled with peace, love, and a little bit of chocolate.
