April 23, 2013

What a great day. After brainstorming ideas and discussing the Central Idea of Exhibition last week, the groups developed their topic, created a central question, and wrote 3 lines of inquiry. They met with their mentors today to begin planning and organizing for their presentation and essay.  Great work was accomplished by all.  In math the students are continuing their learning of multiplying and dividing with fractions.  We are focusing on solving real-world problems and showing your understanding in multiply ways.  The unit post test  is on Thursday.  In science, we are focusing on Force and Motion. The students began learning about simple machines today. Thanks to Tim and Moby from BrainPop they have a great understanding of levers, inclined planes, and pulleys.
