Highlights:
Finally, we are getting to touch and
use our “beautiful things” to build!
Even though they weren’t assembled today, student’s worked diligently to
plan out how their robot will be built, following these three criteria:
· Creating a
stable robot with one moving part
· Being about to
describe each part of the robot and why a specific material was chosen
· Deciding on
appropriate fasteners (glue, tape, pipe cleaners… etc)

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
Home Reading – Please
have your child read around 20 minutes every night. Don’t
forget to engage your child by talking to them about the text. Being a good reader is more than just
knowing the words!! Good readers
will: make connections, ask and answer questions, visualize the text, make
inferences and transform their thinking.
Alternatives to Traditional Reading – Part of
being a good reader is understanding how
to tell a story! Sometimes listening to a good book is just as
educational as reading a good book.
Please check out the links below for alternatives for those days where you’d
like to a change of pace.
