Feb 5 - Update!

We are just launching into our next units for both science and math.  In science, we are moving on to electricity.  Students have been given a project (to be completed at school) that looks at different methods for electricity generation, including their environmental effects (i.e., hydro, geothermal, natural gas, coal, nuclear, tidal, solar, wind, biofuels, etc.).  In math, we are just about to cap off our unit on fractions, ratios and percentages and move on to decimals (comparing/ordering, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing).  

In visual art, students created an art piece to illustrate a word that was inspired by a picture book that we read.  Once they are completed and up, I'll post a picture!  They've been very creative in their illustration of the words that were chosen.

Our inquiry question for the next little bit is "What is Power?"
