HOMEWORK: Spelling test and Independent reading.
This week we have been studying about electromagnetism. We shared our knowledge of magnetism at the Eureka science event. Below is a small slide show. We shoot these pictures as quickly as possible to maximize our teaching time and minimize documentation.
Many thanks to Cindie Weldon for the materials in our science room and the organization of the event. We will continue our study by constructing telegraphs,buzzers and other things that go bump in the night.
Students worked with Dan on math and persuasive writing this morning too.
We looked at Cezanne's still life paintings at the Metropolitan Museum website http://www.metmuseum.org/explore/cezannes_apples/splash.html and wrote and drew about a still life in our classroom. Today students did some amazing work on still life drawing and painting while exploring the possibilities of transparency in watercolor.
We will be using our math skills to evaluate some changes we can make happen in the Atrium and in the larger world of Watertown and perhaps even statewide.
More news forthcoming.
