Hello Everyone,

Here is what we've been up to this week:

We worked with the Dash and Dot robots again this week. Students were tasked with making Dash go around a chair, create a personalized voice command, transforming Dash into a traffic light, and have Dash go through an obstacle course. Throughout this process, they worked on debugging by changing different variables in their code, worked collaboratively, demonstrated perseverance, and worked with different forms of measurement. Our class is loving working with them and everyone is excited to learn more during Science School next week! 

 

Our class practiced different sketching techniques and had a lesson on labelling. Students sketched natural artifacts in our room. We discussed that scientific sketching and labelling is another tool observers use to document artifacts and experiences. 

 

   

Today, we began the beginning of our multi-medium Halloween Inchie Art. Students will work with a variety of mediums to create 6 Halloween inspired inchies. We completed 2 parts of a 6 part art task. Here is a sneak peak. 

I hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend! I can't wait to start Science School with everyone on Monday! If you have not sent your child's form to school, please do so on Monday! 

Take care,

Ms. Carroll
