They are really starting to take shape and students are being very thoughtful and deliberate with their design and circuit choices. This coming week they will co-create an assessment criteria and begin to work on a google slide show of their building progress which they will be excited to share with you at student-led conferences on Thursday or Friday. They also participated in an exciting lab where they tested a variety of materials to determine if they were conductors or insulators. Humanities: We finished with the Metis Road Case this week. Students learned about the Red River Jig, body percussion and found instruments. Next week we will begin our inquiry into the stories of the First Nations. We also made a lot of progress with, “The City of Ember.” Several students are finished the book, and all students will be finishing up on Monday. We will complete some wrap up activities, finish work on vocabulary & booksnaps and compare the book and the movie in the upcoming week.
