Thanks for coming to Tuesday's Back to School Night! We loved seeing everyone together and sharing our passion for this year's Studio SBLC. If you haven't yet paid enrichment fees online or via check, please do so ASAP so we can order this year's t-shirts.
This week the SBLC began a new design project...our outdoor space! After seeing the possibilities come to life inside, the kids are making plans for re-landscaping zones outdoors to make them more learning centered and user-friendly.
We needed to hone our map making skills (which works perfectly with math, social studies, and research TEKS)...
We applied our knowledge of measurement and used scale to convert our feet to inches in order to create an accurate representation of Mrs. Forrest's side of the Studio. BIG work!
In ELA, we read about landscape architects and designers while refreshing our memory of nonfiction text and text features. We also quickly reviewed some routines for spelling so that we can get those centers up and running!
During math and science block, our SBLC cartographers were outside measuring the perimeter of our outside space to the nearest foot. Using those measurements, they created scale maps of the fixed features like our porch and backpack storage. While outside, we're also observing the angle of the sun and our areas of shade. These observations will help us decide where we'd like to create different types of outside learning zones and if we will need to create some shade.
Take off and Landing notebooks came home today...take a glimpse into our reflections. Know that we are working on getting more and more down in the time frame and also more detailed as we get used to the routine. Please initial and return Monday.
Thanks for those who have been up to the minute with Enrichment Fees. We appreciate it!
Happy Labor Day! Enjoy your extra day!
