We are off and running! Our first week together was an overwhelming success! This week, we will continue to build on our understanding of the Math Block and number sense. We will also continue to discover how the interactions between living and non-living factors contribute to our society.

Wandering Wednesday
Science Block
UPDATE: Students will use their technology today and tomorrow as we will be delving deeper into our research! We will go to Farm in the City on a future Wandering Wednesday. Today we will go to Crema to continue our research.
We will continue to discuss the question “Why would people risk the danger of eruption and live and farm near volcanoes?” We will be taking the bus to the Farm in the City to explore our topic and learn about the benefits and pitfalls of urban gardening. Please note that on Wandering Wednesdays, as with every school outing, there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing choices! Unless severe weather is in the area, we will do our excursions, rain or shine.
Thursday
Science Block
Thursdays will usually be our day for research and technology will be used in classes on Thursdays. Today we will be reviewing the Design Thinking Process and using technology to continue to research our question in order to determine why urban farming may or may not be an alternative solution to farming on a volcano.
FriYAY!
Students continue to work on their FriYAY projects!
