A hard week

I hope that you will be able to join us for the Engineering Expo on the 21st. My class has been working hard on testing, failing, not giving up (sometimes getting mad), and trying again. They are seeing that working with circuits is challenging and that you really do have to keep trying until it works.

Learning in action

Exploring with engineering







Stop-motion

This week has ended our study of space.  As a culminating activity the students create a stop-motion animation to discus their knowledge.  check out their project on Twitter and Kidblog.
In math, we are continuing to work on measurement using customary and metric systems.
I am looking forward to another great week as we are preparing for Open House and the end of the nine weeks.

STAAR Week is over

Please hug your child tonight and let him/her know how proud you are of them.  This has been a very stressful week for them. 
I am very proud of each one of them. 
We are in the home stretch.  Over the next few weeks we will be preparing for our Engineering Fair that will be on May 21, 2015.  Your child will be working through the enigeering process to prove that if you can dream it, you can create it. 
I look foward to sharing with you some of the amazing creations that will come from the fair.
