Monday, April 18th, 2016


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.

Dream Box: Dreambox is an interactive math program that the students have been working on here at school.  We encourage the students to log in at home and practice developing their problem solving skills. Teachers are able to track their progress and see what areas they are excelling in or that may need improvement. Here is the link: https://play.dreambox.com/login/dq8q/panoramahs
