Today students started on their Civil War Projects. They only need to complete The Causes, Biographies and Math sections. The rest of the project will be done out in the field at the various battlefields!

We end the school year with our Civil War Theme. (1861-1865) Each student has already been given their Civil War Project/Battlefield Tour. The two trips we have scheduled for certain is our trips to the Pratt St. Riots and Gettysburg. We will still possibly go to Antietam. Many of our students went to Antietam with me last summer for B.E.E.S. Much of their project they have they will completing in the field at the battlefields. Most of the rest can be done in the classroom. Very little of it needs to be completed at home. Each student must have their Battlefield Tour research project with them to join us on the trips! Don't lose them! On Friday we continued to learn about Science by reading about and looking at the phases of the moon. Students then got to create a project on the phases of the moon using Oreos and icing. The best projects are the ones you get to eat when you are done! For the past two days in Mrs. Gutting's class, students have been learning about the water cycle in Reading class. First, we read and analyzed a poem about the water cycle. Then as part of an arts integration lesson, students created a collage showing the water cycle in action! Today we took part in a really fun magnet activity. Its amazing how much fun you can have with some string, tape, paperclip and a few magnets! Ask you children what they learned abou the magnetic north and south pole and different magnetic fields. |
