Below are some photos and curricular updates for the month. Enjoy! Science: Through investigation using the design process, students created simple machines to solve problems. Photos show students creating balances to observe which clay ball weighs more and parachutes using plastic bags, string, tape, tin foil, and washers to hit a target. Reading Workshop: Our biography unit is underway! Students have chosen important figures in history to research based on the accomplishments and contributions the historical figure has made for the betterment of society. Our culmination project, the living wax museum, will be held on Friday, March 1 from 8:45 to 9:45 during Fathers’ Morning. All are invited to attend during this time. Writing Workshop: In conjunction with Reading Workshop, students will be composing biographical speeches based on their research of their chosen figure. The students will present their speeches on Fathers’ Morning. *Below is our research timeline to help the students organize for their presentations. All work will be completed in class unless there is an unforeseeable snow day that interferes. Wax Museum TimelineSocial Studies:
