I hope everyone had a great and relaxing Easter break!
April is a busy month. We have the beach clean-up this Friday, book fair this Saturday, and Art Fair next Friday.
In class we will be focusing on the following
Math classes: I will be sharing a few math games I learned over break with the kids, including "BUZZ" and "mental math tiles." We will also be reviewing the 5 lessons that were assigned over break and starting a new one as well
7/8 Science: Students will start to see how magnetism and electricity are related. This will be seen through various demos including compasses and, electric circuits, and magnets. They will have a quiz over electricity and magnets next week. The 7th grade will have a special chance to experiment with hand-powered generators and compare them to how larger power-plant generators work.
6 Science: Students will continue to learn about thermal energy and heat. The focus this week will be on heat transfer. Students will experiment with how heat travels through different materials by building some houses and tracking their temperatures while in the sun. We will also spend some time planting our seeds for the "Plant, grow, eat," program with the Del Mar Fair. The seeds will be planted and taken care of by students until June, when we will take them to the fair to be judged.
5 Science: Students will review the basic systems of the body, and start to focus on the endocrine system. We will be watching videos, taking notes and filling out diagrams. We will also spend some time planting our seeds for the "Plant, grow, eat," program with the Del Mar Fair. The seeds will be planted and taken care of by students until June, when we will take them to the fair to be judged.
