This week began with our Third and Fourth Graders showing their hard work during the STAAR reading and math tests. We are so proud of their dedication to their learning all year long, and know that they felt well prepared!
This week we've switched focus to our Changemaker Projects. In reading, we have been finding facts about influential people in our heritage that have made our lives possible today. We are creating individual books to celebrate those people, and to show how chronologically they have affected change in our present time. We also have a page that illustrates what/how WE will be changemakers through our lives. It's been exciting to find so many interesting people in our history!
In math we've taken some time to make more connections between all of the concepts we studied through the year and how they apply beyond the walls of our classroom. We're creating a series of posters that will grow as we make more connections these next few weeks. We're also flexing our metacognition muscles as we reflect on how our thinking has changed through the year. This reflection on our own math curiosities, big understandings, and real-world connections are all part of our math changemaker projects. We've also found it inspiring to explore patterns in nature like the Fibonacci sequence and innovative mathematicians like Eratosthenes.
Our second and third grade scientists completed their Life Cycle unit with some collaborative projects and a butterfly release. Our entomologists were excited to see their butterflies happy in their natural habitat.
