MATH:
EVENT PLANNING PROJECT is well under way. Students are planning activities and troubleshooting snags in their planning. This past week students learned how to convert decimals and fractions to percentages.

SCIENCE:
Our HOVERCRAFT PROJECT started Monday. Students were introduced to Newton's First Law of Motion while building mini hovercrafts with cds and balloons. On Tuesday and Thursday, students were given a set of instructions and a supply list for the construction of their 4ft hovercrafts. If you can help with the supplies, we would really appreciate it. Our goal is to start working on the construction next Tuesday and Thursday. I will have the plywood cut outside of class. Students have decided within their groups their team name and theme. The designs are looking fantastic! Students should be well into Zingy Learning. On Wednesday we worked on Lesson 6: Topics 1-3 in class. If your student is not that far, please help them work on it at home.

BEACHBUMS:Our Beach Bums Club went to Sea World last Friday. The storm held off long enough for us to have a beautiful afternoon. Our guide was Keith Yip, curator of mammals. He took us behind the scenes where we got to learn how the animals are fed and cared for. We saw a baby harbor seal, a green sea turtle and a deaf pilot whale, all rescued from the wild and otherwise would have died. We also got up close and personal with many other animals. Mr. Yip was very impressed with how well our students listened and paid attention during the tour. I hope we can build a relationship with Sea World so we can do this again.
