Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We've had an interesting few days exploring the scientific process. The kids were given a set of materials yesterday afternoon and asked to collaborate with a partner or two in designing a structure that would support the weight of a one pound book. There was excitement and frustration, successes and failures. In the end, we discovered that science is just that, trial and error. We are fortunate enough to have a very hands-on science curriculum in fourth grade, so we will be exploring much together this year.
Tuesday brought us our first visit from Mrs. Mitchener this year. She'll be working on math support and enrichment twice a week with the upper grades. She offers additional support on Tuesday and Thursday mornings in the library. Students are welcome to drop in between 7:30 and 7:55.
Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:
- HM math 2.1 (pages 11 & 12)
- Reading Practice Book page 14
- keep at working with spelling words for Friday's quiz
Respectfully,
Mr. Bryant
