Today the students used their knowledge of magnets and attraction of poles to fix a problem. We watched a video of a kid using a pogo stick. I explained that I was trying to do the same tricks with my pogo stick and the spring inside broke. I asked the students to use a spindle and magnets to create a new spring for it. The students worked in teams of two and came up with great solutions and backed up their thinking with scientific evidence.
The students also started writing their own narratives today. I am hoping to have most of the rough drafts done by the end of the week.
On Wednesday, we will have our school wide PBIS celebration. This is a reward that the students had earned because of their behavior. Recently we have been focused on being responsible. Our class has really done a fabulous job of focusing on their own responsibility around the school itself. We will be outside all afternoon on Wednesday to celebrate their success. They will all take part in a winter celebration. Please make sure to dress them accordingly.
Have a great week.
Peace,
Tommy
