Think Tank in Third
Weekly Update- January 13, 2017
Our Week at a Glance
Math- We've been discussing multiplication and added some new vocabulary words to our math journals. These words are: factor, multiple, product, repeated addition, skip counting, repeated groups, equal groups. Next week we will start looking at multiples, charting those on a number line and looking at patterns.
Science- We've continued looking at renewable resources this week, and watched a Bill Nye video on how we can protect these renewable natural resources. Next week we will start learning about circuits with our e4tech lessons.
Social Studies- We learned about Martin Luther King Jr. today and his impact on the world.

PiDay 5k
Every year, this organization sponsors a "PiDay 5k," for which all proceeds go to amazing professional development programs for teachers prek-12. It would be so cool if The Think Tank participated in this 5k, as this organization has done so much for our classroom!! Mrs. Callahan and Miss Pratt will be there.

Genius Hour Presentations
Students will present their Genius Hour presentations after school on Wednesday, February 8th from 4-6. Students will stay after school for these, and a permission slip will be coming home soon for that. We understand that with sports some students may not be able to stay for these, so we will also allow students to present in our SLC for other classes Thursday morning.
Presentations will be set up similar to a wax museum where students stand at their presentation and present as people walk up to them. They will not present one at a time, in front of everyone.
