Week 31

 

Students played Over the Seesaw Bridge (working on balancing a seesaw) at ECO

I have just a quick update for you today!  We had a great week leading up to our last break of the school year!  On Monday we we had a special guest!  Jon Gailmor brought his guitar and sang a few songs with the children and we gave him a copy of the poetry book we wrote during the winter.  He loved the book and we loved spending time singing with him!  

Wednesday we enjoyed another amazing morning in our outdoor classroom at ECO!  We finished up with force and motion as students Learned how to throw a dart using an Atlatal, while other students created balances with sticks and stones.  During Forest Choice, students continued to explore with seesaws, made friendship bracelets and painted using colored water and a cup-pendulums, constructed little boats to send down the brook, and learned how to use flint and steel.  Thank you to Caitlin Mahoney and Eric Schoeberlein for Volunteering their time!

In the classroom this week students began writing book reviews as part of our persuasive writing unit, and in math we continued our focus on fractions in all grades.  During theme we learned about goods and services and the role they play in our economy. 

Thank you to Sorensen / Peden family for providing us Burgers and Hot dogs for Hot lunch today!
