News for May 14
On Monday of this week all the students were involved in a school-wide Track and Field Day. The children ran, jumped hurdles and much more.
In math, the students finished the unit on probability. They are now working on reviewing geometry concepts. To begin this review, they began a project creating tetrahedrons from paper circles and they are now working to use these units to build larger structures.
The class is working hard to prepare for next week's Spring Concert (May 20th). They will be performing two songs that evening.
The students went to the gym to see the mime actor Chris Walsh perform. He combined mime, clowning and magic into a wonderful and funny show.
The pottery plates and bowls the students made have gone through the first firing in the kiln. Darryl brought them in this week and taught the students how to glaze (paint) them. Did you know that this glaze has ground glass in it and when the pottery goes into the kiln again at 1000 degrees Celsius, the glass pieces melt and there will be a thin layer of glass on the pottery?
The caterpillars are growing and changing! The students did a lot of drawing, writing, discussing and book research. Read what the children are thinking in a separate posting on this blog.
