Brainstorming Keywords
Creative, Courageous, Influential, World Changers, Genius... These were just a few of the words and concepts we brainstormed last week. We worked together to define some of these big ideas. There words and definitions will serve as the structure and criteria for our next reading and writing assignment.
Thank you!
Thank you for all of the wonderful donations for the iBelong basket. We will deliver it to the Columbia Adoption Project this weekend. I know they will greatly appreciate it!
It's Electric!
We are currently busy completing a very quick exploration of electricity. We started last week by discussing some basics of matter and static electricity. This week we explored different kinds of circuits while we investigated the details of current electricity. We identified conductors, insulators, switches and more.
Reminder - Homework is sent in the Friday folder each week!
Busy Reading about Influential People
This week we read a variety of books, articles and watched short biographies about numerous people. We are currently browsing for possible people we wish to learn more about. Our person of choice must be show creativity and/or courage and have had a positive impact on the world.
STAR Math
This week we completed the STAR math assessment. I was so impressed by the focus and effort every student put forth on this not-so-fun task. They should have brought home a copy of their score to share on Wednesday.
Please continue to practice multiplication and division facts!
I have included a few resources below, but feel free to
use any option, app, or method you wish.
