By know I hope you have had a chance to read your child's science / rock journal. The kids were so engaged. They built a HUGE new vocabulary of science words. The were very methodical in following the experiments step by step. Hands down the most fun I have ever had teaching science! I tried to get a picture of each and every kid. If I missed yours this science unit, I'll try extra hard to photograph him/her next unit!
10 kids in our class were able to join in the PAKRAT parade. Mrs. Koopmeiner's class one the school contest with 265 books read. Mr. Tax, Westwood's Differentiation Specialist, led a lesson in engineering Friday. The kids worked in teams. The goal was to build a freestanding building out of spaghetti noodles, masking tape, string, and a marshmallow. The marshmallow needed to balance at the top of the structure. The kids had fun and were challenged!
