HOMEWORK
- Next week we will have a binder check-up, so make sure to WRITE DOWN your I Wonders, Patterns, and log your math lessons!
- Kaleigh will present on Nicolaus Copernicus. We have enjoyed all of the presentations so far. Please consider your presentation and what visual (pictures, presentation, experiment, etc.) you will use to delight the class. The more exciting, the better!
- Finish reading and annotating The Phantom Tollbooth. The discussion will be led by Noah!!
- Don't forget your I Wonders, Patterns, and log book entries WRITTEN DOWN!!! I've got a great one for this week.
- Also we will be reviewing your Science Fair projects. It has come to our attention that only ONE student has actually made progress on their science fair project. That is a sad state of affairs and will make it hard to accomplish this goal in time for the Science Fair itself. So here's a reality check:
11/10 - Pyramid Project class
11/17 - Pyramid Project class
11/24 - Thanksgiving Day: No Class
12/1, 8,15 - Pyramid Project class
1/5, 12, 19 - Pyramid Project class
1/26 - Parent Night/Science Fair
So projects are due on 1/19, so that leaves students approximately 10 weeks until it is due. I don't know about you guys, but I can procrastinate 10 weeks like nobody's business! Parents, please have a mentor meeting (or two) with your Pyramid Project student and help them develop a timeline that will help them be successful with their science fair project. Please ask Diannalynn or I for any help you might need. Also, please let us know well in advance of any special set up needs for the January Science Fair. Thanks!
LAST WEEK IN CLASS:
We learned what it takes to ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS. There were some tricky riddles to solve - I stink at it! We decided however, that asking the right questions is a wonderful skill to employ in working on a science fair project. We had great input by all and we sure appreciate teaching this class.
Sincerely,
Genevieve & Diannalynn
