Field Trip on Wednesday
We are off to Festival du Voyageur on
Wednesday, February 20th!
**Students should be dressed to be outside for most of the day.**
**They should bring a bagged lunch with them.**
**With parental permission, students may bring money to purchase snacks or souvenirs.**
From the Science Department...
It's time for another design process!
This time it's about... TIME!
Students must reflect on why we want or need to measure time.
Then, they must choose one ancient instrument used to measure time and:
-research its origin
-create a labeled drawing
-write a description of the instrument: what it looks like and how it works
-give the advantages and the disadvantages of the instrument
-imagine possible modifications to make the instrument modern
For some of these components, students have researched the answers. For other components, students should formulate and invent their own answers.
The pages students have been working on (pictured below) are the rough copy of this project.
Students should create a final project, including all of their information. This final project could take any number of forms: a poster, a book, a diorama, etc... They do not have to construct a working model of the instrument.
The final projects of this Design Process are due
Wednesday, February 27th.

Compliments for Valentines!
Last week, each student was asked to write down a compliment about every student in the class. I compiled all of those compliments together to make a super Valentine.
How fun to read all the anonymous compliments!
Party Time!
Thanks to the Party Committee for planning a super fun party!
Students got to try four different Minute-to-Win-it stations including Cookie Face, Bull's Eye, Penguin Toss and Bottle Flip.
They also got to eat yummy snacks and estimated how many candies were in each bag. (The person with the closest estimation won the entire bag! Congratulations to the candy winners!)
