Fourth & Fifth Grade PEAK
Mrs. Turner's October News
PEAK Conferences will take place in November!
Battle of the Brains Update
Our proposal for Battle of the Brains is due at the end of the month! We've been super busy using our STEM content knowledge and creative thinking skills. Each day picked a different BIG idea:
Monday- Math
Tuesday- Technology
Wednesday- Chemistry
Thursday- Electricity
Friday- Space
As the deadline draws closer, we'll be working in "Criteria Groups" to make sure we're including all 6 of the criteria outlined in the Battle of the Brains rubric. We built these groups based on individual student strengths such as art, management, math, and writing. If your child is a strong artist, for example, we asked him/her to be part of the art group to really showcase his/her strength.
We are so impressed with the depth of thinking and collaboration we've seen. We can't wait to enter our work in the contest!
PEAK Curriculum
The majority of our time this month will be devoted to Battle of the Brains. One of the great things about this competition is that it integrates all of our subject areas. Through our collaborative work, we'll be using the skills we learn in the subject areas of Theme, Math, Science, PGD, and Creativity.
