Weekly Highlights!

The students are working together in groups on several research projects so we will be doing some team building activities over the next few weeks. This week, the challenge, Magic Carpet, was to work as a team to flip over a "carpet" while standing on it! Afterwards, they reflected on what worked (or didn't) and how they communicated throughout the challenge.

In Science, we explored how insects' mouths have adapted to their food source. They simulated eating with different types of mouths to determine which ones were best for consuming its food.

We've started working in groups researching the Northeast Region of the United States. Each group will be creating a slideshow to present to their classmates. Before beginning to work in groups, several volunteers did a fantastic job demonstrating the skills needed for successful teamwork!

The class was SO excited to get letters from their new friends in Mexico!! Some of the letters were in Spanish so we learned how to use Google Translate. They can't wait to write back to their new friend!

Here are our dancers of the week!!
