Today we traveled to the state of Pennsylvania. We read the story If You Want to Find Golden, by Eileen Spinelli. This was a story about a child noticing the many colors of a city and what the colors can be associated with. After reading the story many of the children chose to build their own city (using all of the little boxes that we collected earlier in the year). The kids will continue working on these next week.
On Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Hubbard's class once again joined us as we tested the strength of a variety of magnets. The students were then asked to draw conclusion from their results. Most of the kids needed an extra day to finish this rather challenging task.
During today's assembly, a team of parents discussed the idea of engineering and the activities that will soon be available to the students of our school. One of the choices is a Lego League for the younger kids. Each of the students wrote about this in their Weekly News. See if your child is interested in signing up. If so, ask Connie for a form and return it by next Tuesday.
I hope everyone has a great weekend. I will be traveling with my team to the town of Hazen tomorrow morning. I can't wait for that early morning bus ride :).
Peace,
Tom
