A big thank you goes out to all parents who joined in on our Student-Led Conferences this week.
The conferences were inspiring and useful in setting goals for the students.
The week flew by and students finished their second drafts of the short stories, reviewed for their math test and gathered more information for the AMA project.
We discussed the 3 main phases of the AMA project:
1) The Individual Research Paper. This research includes gathering information about a specific building or structure that the student chose.
2)Using their knowledge of art, math and architecture, students will work in groups to design futuristic structures for use in phase 3 of the project.
3) Students will work together as a class to create a hydroponics garden area outside our classroom using their futuristic designs.
During the week, students came up with questions that might be important to investigate about their structure. The main goal was to discover the purpose as well as the art, architecture and mathematics that was involved in the building of the structure. Using the questions they came up with in class students will begin research.
