Types of Communities

In Social Studies the last few weeks, we have been learning about the 3 main types of communities: Rural, Suburban, and Urban. 

Enjoy the slideshow below with wisdom from the mouths of your babes. These kids just make me smile. :)

Bridge Designers

The last couple of weeks in Science we have been studying the parts of bridges.

Your students were given materials to work with to design a bridge of their own. The goal was to design a bridge that could hold the most amount of weight.

I want to add that this is VERY challenging!

The students were given notecards, string, duck tape, clear tape, straws, playdoh, paper clips, and masking tape to build with. They did not have to use all the materials. They could use any of the above listed materials. So, they had to be creative!

This is a lot harder than it looks. But, all had a great time and I love seeing how the groups were working together.

Heads up! Your students might ask you for some supplies to build their own bridge at home. :)

Below is what the bridge designers came up with.

The cafe staff asks that you put money into your student’s account for their own lunches before you come to have lunch with your child. The cash payment - especially on Fridays, tends to slow the line down.

Our class will visit the book fair on Thursday, Oct. 11th from 2:00 - 2:30. You are more than welcome to come up before then with your student and purchase. This is just the time I have set aside for us to do this.

College and Career Week

Michael's dad visited and talked to us about his road to becoming a professor and a scientist. He went to 3 different schools and is now an expert in his field. He emphasized that even pro sports players also need a college degree. The training you receive in school today and in the years to come is what will help you be productive and do well in college. When your training is complete, you will be equipped to be what you want to be when you grow up. We had a great discussion with Dr. McFarlin.

Thank you Dr. McFarlin for coming to talk to us and encouraging us to do well in school and to go to college. We now realize that our FUTURE is so bright and full of possiblities!!!

Parents,

If any of you would like to come share about your career, you are welcome anytime. Just email me and let me know. We look forward to hearing about your career throughout the year.  

Miss Matt
