Hi parents,
Sorry about the lack of a blog yesterday, it was a pretty busy day. I'll summarize the highlights:
Yesterday, we did a big science task, in which the students experimented with angles and simple machines, by creating ramps, building K-Nex vehicles, and then sending the cars off the ramps in order to clear a small gap. Students made predictions about what angle would be optimal for their ramps, and then used protractors to ensure their ramps were at that angle. It was super fun and a little bit hectic.
We also had Music and Daily LA.
Today was another fun day, though surprisingly less hectic. Most of our day was dedicated to our Valentines task, in which the students made blank cards with their pictures on them, and then wrote nice things in all of their classmate's cards.
In the afternoon, we helped our buddy class do the same thing. Students who brought additional Valentines from home handed them out at the end of the day.
As great as Valentines was, the best part of the day was our visit with Jace Jax and Henry Hama, who recently published their third book in the Kiddsburgh Chronicles series. This book was all about Valentines day, and told the story of a couple of kids on an exciting, rhyming Valentines adventure. They took time after the reading to teach the kids about the process of writing and illustrating books. It's a lot of work!
