Bio-Inspired Flowers
Our class has been learning about flower parts and how they help a plant to survive. Students used their knowledge of how the parts of a plant work together to make it grow and created their own flower. Students tried to get the roots and stems working in order to show capillary action. If they plant was designed well, it was able to bring colored water up to the flower and give it a pretty look. We had some amazing designs to be proud of! In addition to the bio-inspired flower, we have been growing flowers to be part of a "fair test" experiment. We have been comparing how the environment (cold, light, water, and temperature) effect how plants grow. We have been keeping the data chart in our science notebooks to make comparisons. We also have looked at how roots grow downwards and the leaves grow up and even bend to face the sun.

Family Groups toss Marshmallows!
Our family group had a lot of fun trying to take aim and drop marshmallow into a cone that was held in the mouth of their partner. After some practice we competed with the other family groups and caught a whopping 17! Way to go team!

Earthen Dam
Our class has been learning about natural resources in science. We have tried to discover which ones are renewable and which ones are not renewable, as well as how they are used to help us in our everyday life. Students put their knowledge to the test and tried to create their own earthen dam to solve a possible real world problem. Their prototypes were based on the need to secure a place that held enough water to keep fish alive and allow for fishing. You can see some of our process for preparing and building in the pictures below.

Le Vent du Nord
Our classes enjoyed a watching and listening a musical group from Canada recently. In addition to their music, the band shared the history of the music, instruments, and culture of the Canadian region. "Quebec’s Le Vent du Nord knows how to turn the lost past into intense and beautiful performances that push their roots in striking global directions. The group is blazing a path that connects their Québecois roots to the wider world, in both arrangements and on stage.
Considered a driving force in progressive folk, Le Vent du Nord captures the energy and mirth of a Saturday night kitchen party, infusing old Québec with a breath of fresh, cosmopolitan air.
Since its founding in 2002, Le Vent du Nord have become compelling Francophone ambassadors, winning critical acclaim and audience adoration across Europe, Oceania and America. The quartet has performed well over 1,600 concerts, racking up several prestigious awards, including a Grand Prix du Disque Charles Cros, two Junos (Canada’s Grammys), a Félix at ADISQ, a Canadian Folk Music Award, and “Artist of the Year” at the North American Folk Alliance Annual Gala.
The band delivers catchy songs and tunes, some taken from the Québec traditional folk repertoire while others are original compositions. The group has a rich and varied instrumentation, well-polished musical arrangements, and wonderful vocals." -https://leventdunord.com/en/the-band

Xtra Math & Moby Max
Our class uses Xtra Math & Moby Max to help students with fact practice in our classroom. These programs help students to learn facts along with building their speed and knowledge of facts. Students can access these math activities just we do in our classroom by going to our class webpage, selecting the program desired, and then logging in with your student username and pin (Student Usernames and Pins are kept on homework folders). The nice feature to these programs is that parents can also log in and check on progress. These links test the student and then moves them through adding, subtracting, multiplication, and division facts based on the child's performance. I truly appreciate it matching student needs and I think parents will appreciate knowing exactly what their child knows or needs to know. Check it out! Our class code is: HYSMRJZK if you need to set up your account at home. |
