Hello Families,
Wow! It's hard to believe we are in the homestretch of the school year with only 7 days left for students! Everyone has been doing a great job staying focused on work despite growing excitement for the summer break.
Over the past few weeks we have been looking at elements of story writing and character development. This week, we generated the plan to write our own stories, this work will continue on into next week. We have also been looking at division using materials to support the making of equal groups and continue to practice extending, creating, and representing increasing and complex repeating patterns.
We had the wonderful opportunity to experience the full life cycle of a butterfly over the past month.
We will be releasing the butterflies on our walking field trip on Monday.
Stem Challenge
Ms. Brown and I thought it would be a great way to end the year with weekly stem challenges. This weeks challenge was to sink a marshmallow in either oil or water. Day 1 of the challenge asked students to predict what would happen to the marshmallow in oil and in water, students then tested and planned their design for a sink jacket. Day 2 of the challenge asked students to build and test their design (the fun part!). Day 3 of the challenge asked students to reflect and improve their design.
Each groups design was super unique! It was great to see the collaboration and team work throughout the process.
