Where does the week go? This week we started a new project and it’s a building project! Look for the supply request letter to come home. We need supplies by Monday, March 3, which is right around the corner!
We have learned about the geosphere, biosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere and how these spheres interact. Each student is in a small group and has chosen an event where at least two of the spheres interact such as a wildfire, a volcano, a tsunami or an oil spill. Each small group will need a tri-fold display board and each student will be responsible to print some color pictures for the board. If this is not an option for you to do at home, please email me so we can make other arrangements. The students will build a model of their event showing a model of how it was before and after the event. The students have a rubric to guide them as they work together in this process. The building will be done completely at school.
When we get a date set, we would like to have parents come see the presentations. We are looking at March 12 at 2:00, but that is a tentative date and time at this point.
Things are going well in the classroom, we finished our read aloud, True Confessions Of Charlotte Doyle, and the students are writing a different ending. We can’t wait to hear all the variations when we share with the class.
Have a great week!
