This morning Ms. Handlesman's class and our class worked together on creating our story through coding.  First students were required to pick a partner and then find a book together to read.  Students then created a visual storyboard and from their storyboard they will apply their knowledge and create a story through Scratch.  Please see below for some pictures about the project.

During math class students worked in small groups to answer one of the following questions below.  We discussed as a class the importance of answering the full question while showing their work.  Students were required to answer the questions with the following in mind; Think, Solve, and Answer.  Please ask your child what those headings mean and the importance behind them.  The following are the questions.

This afternoon students continued to work with either Mrs. Bowles or myself on the Mars Inquiry.  In my group students created a prototype of their water filtration system.  If your child required additional materials for their prototype they should inform you.


Also, students continued to gather information on their country of choice in order to find out the following; traditions, cultures, food, children's rights, quality of life, etc.  Please see below for a picturea of their Global Art Exchange project.  Also, please check out this website http://mars.nasa.gov/participate/funzone/
