ScienceThis week students finished their first learning artifacts. If you're curious to see what they made before the astronomy fair at the end of the year you can check out this website. The last activity they were asked to do for this artifact was reflect on their experience. Each student filled out a form asking for specific examples of how the process went. Take some time this weekend to ask them about what they learned about themselves as learners. Some students started their work on their second learning artifact. They were asked to not work the same people again and to pick a different way for showing what they learned. This forces students to work with people they may not work with and create something that's new to them. This is on purpose and is part of the designed learning process. The goal is for them to take the experiences and skills they learned during the first artifact and apply them to the second. I really look forward to see what they produce in these new and different working groups. Lastly, students will need another book for their second artifact. They may ask you to go to the library again or for help finding an article to print. MathMonday: We worked on our books all day. Tuesday: We worked on Word Problem #23. This problem comes right out of the 4B book. It should look very familiar to the students. I wanted to take a step back from solving complex problems to reviewing how to draw bar models. Selecting a concept most students have gone over is an easy way to do that. For student working in the 6A books I solved the problem algebraically as well. On the solution slide you'll see how to solve the problem using both methods. Wednesday: Book Check Day
Thursday: Game Day Friday: Tetris Math
