Ms. Taylor often starts the lesson with, “this is super fascinating”, and kids often respond with, “you say that about everything”. It’s true, however, everything in science is super fascinating! This past week E6 has spent time learning about life in the tundra.
Permafrost jello helped students understand how the ground stays permanently frozen, not allowing for large trees and shrubs to grow since water and ice remain close to the surface. Children also covered their hands in “blubber” and submerged their “polar bear paws” into icy cold water to understand how animals stay warm in cold climates.
Students are hard at work as they start to build their state floats in preparation for “Celebrate America Day”. Each student will make their own float that highlights and celebrates their state. Students will build 3D models of state buildings, landmarks, parks, state symbols and points of interest. Students are working with Ms. Angela in art to understand 3D modeling as well as using class time to research their design ideas. We will continue to add pictures that show a timeline of their progress. This week the main focus was on adding their wheels!
Parent Conferences
It was so nice to meet with all the parents this past week. We look forward to the day when we can talk in person about the hard work and success of your children. We miss seeing you all on campus, so we will continue to post pictures of your students and their work in our photo galleries. The teachers of E6 would like to thank you again for your patience and continued support. ❤
