Update for FEB 11th

Look in your email for a health update from Dan and Steve Middlebrook soon

What a great job the Inventors did in performance on Friday! Nearly all the parts of our complicated high tech/low tech hybrid project come together as Dan had planned in what we sincerely hope was as enjoyable for audience to watch as it was for us to perform. Students were happy to share reflections on their learning during the process of creating the show and had an ice cream party, compliments of Toscanini's and Norah.

In the past week, in addition to practicing for our performance, in math we worked on perimeters and converting feet to inches then to centimeters which dovetailed nicely into our previous study of multiplication of 2 and 3 digit numbers. We also studied spelling, grammar and learned about the Western states. All students did very well on their geography test although the spelling of state's names will need some work. This past week in science we studied 3 states of matter and evaporation, sublimation, condensation using CO2 in solid form. We then made a dry ice fogger.

Copies of the Green 13 video segments will be available . Some parents made a video of the actual performance which I will try to edit ASAP. We may decide to reschedule our visit the MIT museum. Please look here for info.
See you soon, norah
