October 26, 2012

Thank you to parents and students who attended conferences on Thursday evening.  It is always great to speak with you about your child's efforts at school.  I look forward to seeing the rest of you on either Tuesday, October 30 or Thursday, November 1.

Next week in science 5th graders will be launching their homemade catapults on Wednesday during their science classes.  Students may bring in their catapults early (Monday or Tuesday) if they want.

6th Graders will continue to focus on calculating density, mass, and volume.

Please check out the links on my blog.  I recently added a link to a Math and Science event at the University of Minnesota.  This looks like a great family event.  Also the links titled Engineering Go For It and How to Smile, are great sites for math and science projects.

Dodge Nature Center was a bit cold and wet for some students on Thursday, October 25.  Please let me know if your child needs any outdoor gear for the trips during the winter months.  Students need to be dressed appropriately for the weather on the days of our trips.

Thanks
