This October we've been working on a lot of big projects. Alex is finishing up his unit on microscopic life with bacteria plates. He made the agar at home and the kids have been recording the growth of whatever was on their hands that day. It's pretty disgusting but in the best way.
Their observations include drawing the plate and writing descriptions of what they see. These are skills they can apply to their own science fair projects in the new year.
For Grandparents Day in September our class read "The Wednesday Surprise" by Eve Bunting. It's about a girl who teaches her grandmother how to read. Students then wrote about what they could teach their own grandparents to do.
Both classes are working hard on their monster masks in preparation for the haunted house. This will be the third (and final) year we'll be doing the haunted house, so Alex and I really wanted to improve on what we accomplished
last year. The students pictured here are working on a paper mache dragon head which will have glowing red eyes and spew smoke.
