Highlights:
Did you know that different parts of
our brains have different functions?
Today Ms. Bain taught us that when we are reading, our brain utilizes different
parts of the brain. In class we’ll call
these parts our memory pocket, our imagination pocket and our fact pocket. Each part of our brain works together to
analyze and interpret as we read.
Today the secret project was revealed…
students will be building a robot!
Students had a chance to discuss some potential building ideas and
realized they didn’t have all right the materials! We came to the understanding that WHAT we are
doing helps us to decide WHAT materials are needed! Everyone has a list of potential new items
they will need for completing their awesome robots.
