Update...

We've made it to the finals: 

it's Love You Forever vs. Diary of a Wimpy Kid 

for the title of the BEST BOOK EVER!

Roots of Empathy!

Baby Casey and his mom came to visit today!

Wear pink...

and stand against bullying!

From the Science Department...

It's time for another design process!

This time it's about... time!

Students must reflect on why we want or need to measure time.
Then, they must choose one ancient instrument used to measure time and:
-find out its origin
-create a labeled drawing
-write a description of the instrument: what it looks like and how it works
-give the advantages and the disadvantages of the instrument
-imagine possible modifications to make the instrument modern

For some of these components, students have researched the answers using their iPads. For other components, students should formulate and invent their own answers.

The yellow pages students have been working on (pictured below) are the rough copy of this project.
Students should create a final project, including all of their information. This final project could take any number of forms: a poster, a book, a diorama, etc...

The final projects of this Design Process are due Tuesday, March 8th.

Update!

Here's the updated version of our BEST BOOK EVER debate.
We're down to the semi-finals!

Compliments for Valentine's Day!

Last week, each student had to write down a compliment about every student in the class. I compiled all of those compliments together to make a Valentine.

How fun to read all the anonymous compliments!

Happy Valentine's Day!
