From the Science Department...

It's time for another design process!

This time it's about... TIME!

Students must reflect on why we want or need to measure time.
Then, they must choose one ancient instrument used to measure time and:
-research its origin
-create a labeled drawing
-write a description of the instrument: what it looks like and how it works
-give the advantages and the disadvantages of the instrument
-imagine possible modifications to make the instrument modern

For some of these components, students have researched the answers. For other components, students should formulate and invent their own answers.

The pages students have been working on (pictured below) are the rough copy of this project.
Students should create a final project, including all of their information. This final project could take any number of forms: a poster, a book, a diorama, etc...

The final projects of this Design Process are due
 Wednesday, March 7th.

We Love to Party!

Thanks to the Party Committee 

for a totally fun party this afternoon!

We played Bingo, Scattergories, had a drawing contest, searched for hidden hearts around the class, and estimated how many candies were in each bag. (The person with the closest estimation won the entire bag! Congratulations to the candy winners!)

Compliments for Valentines!

A few weeks ago, each student was asked to write down a compliment about every student in the class. I compiled all of those compliments together to make a super Valentine.

How fun to read all the anonymous compliments!

Happy Valentine's Day!

6F1 celebrated Valentine's Day today with...

**Valentine math

**Writing mini French stories with French conversation hearts

**Team Challenge: trying to figure out the meaning of French expressions that use the word 'coeur' (heart)
