Recent Happenings
Science
So far this week, we have been exploring energy transfers in toys. Students participated in a fun, engaging exploration where they mapped out energy transfers in a variety of toys (check out our photo video on the class website!). We will start preparing to learn how to create a variety of boats and small machines to further explore energy transfers.

We will continue reading Jr. Great Books, and participating in shared inquiry, word interpretation, and evaluative writing. Students are exploring such valuable skills!
