End of Year Events - Revised
Inside the Idea Lab with Mrs. Stephens
This week we had double Idea Lab again! On Monday we had free choice of activities in Idea Lab. One group of students in particular was very excited about our new 200 piece Space/Solar System puzzle that we did to commemorate the 50th anniversary this year of the United States landing on the moon! The students in all grades are getting quite proficient at many of the new technologies we have introduced this year, and we look forward to continuing our learning with these and other new technologies in the future.
On Thursday we worked on a special poetry project. Classes heard one or more of the following poems read aloud to them: “in just--” by e. e. cummings, “Daffodils” by William Wordsworth, or “Goblin Feet” by J. R. R. Tolkien. After listening to the poem(s), we discussed the meanings of any unfamiliar words or phrases then shared what images came to our minds while we listened to the poetry read aloud. Then we either formed groups or worked alone to create one of those images in whatever medium we chose from the Idea Lab: play-doh, Legos, Magna-Tiles, big blue blocks, Plus-Plus bricks, craft supplies, and more.
Last Thursday was our last checkout day for books. Many students still have books out. Please help them find their books and get them turned in; missing book notices will be sent home next week.
