In writing we are working on forming an opinion , students did an awesome job with their first assignment about whether or not students should get paid for good grades. We are currently looking at if kids should have access to certain social media sites. It should be very interesting.
We wrapped up our Unit 6 test finally! Everyone appears to be healthy and no more bugs floating around the room, I was able to get all kiddos tests completed. They will be going home on Monday. Unit 7 in Math has us Multiplying mixed numbers. With a little review on adding fractions, we are off to a good start.
In Science we are working of food and nutrition. We have looked at the fats, sugars and vitamins, we will be starting food labels this week. Students also took a look at the digestive system from start to finish.
Our Starbase visit was a big hit, students explored endothermic and exothermic chemical reactions. They built safety restraints for an eggsplorer and worked with a CAD program designing a satellite.
