Tuesday, January 10

What a gorgeous day! The warmth and beauty of the sun was wonderful. Once again I actually didn't mind doing recess duty today! :) We talked about our science projects today and am so excited about what the students have come up with. 5th and 6th graders are doing projects in groups of 3 and one group of 4. I assigned the groups today and they had an opportunity to meet in their groups and talk about what they would like to do for their projects. The groups have to choose something that has to do with plants, seeing that is what we are studying in Science this year. I was amazed with some of the ideas they came up with. The majority of the work will be completed here at school, in class. They will conduct their experiments, complete their display boards, etc at school. One of the objectives of this is to encourage the students to work in groups and learn how to work together as a group to complete a project; a true 21st Century Skill! A science project lends itself very well to that. More information will be coming your way!
