It is super fun and one of the highlights of the year! I am noticing a need to work on typing skills. This is a great page where your student can set up an account and keep track of their progress. You may see it come home as homework... Go to the resources page and scroll down to the bottom for the link. LA Memoirs full of microstories! Everyone is working on brainstorming and writing microstories for the first writing project. The stories will be told or written in Adobe Spark. Your child may be asking you for pictures or other artifacts too support their writing. If you do not want to send in items or artifacts, please take a picture. Pictures can always be emailed to me and I will share with their Google Drive. There was no Roots test last week. We will be reviewing the first three lessons this week and a test will be given Friday. Math Everyone completed the first unit math test on Friday. The next unit of study is multiplication. Please continue to work on basic facts. It is essential to math understanding from here on out. A quick Google search for multiplication math games will produce many choices. Also feel free to use old fashioned flashcards or games to keep up the practice. Science Water is a an important natural resource. We learned about the Water Cycle and scarcity of freshwater on the Earth. The students also designed, built and tested their own watersheds on Friday. Check out the pictures below. It was a lot of fun! Computer Science & Studio Lab We worked on debugging and looking for patterns to loop in Computer Science. The students are welcome to login to code.org and work any time they wish. They will need to login to their Roycemore Google account first. I am so impressed by how quickly everyone embraced the research portion of Studio Lab. Everyone is learning so many new things, I can hardly keep up with them!
