Question of the night: What will your rube goldeberg machine be able to do?
Hello! And we're into our final week...with a bang, too! We started by learning a new 3D drawing technique called "Surface". Basically, the lower on the page you draw an object, the closer it looks to you. This is super useful for when we're drawing things like roads and rivers... We also worked a bit on spelling. We're learning about adding "R" to words typically changes the vowel sound found in the word...think "spot" and "sport". After recess, we worked together with the other grade 4 class to plan and start designing rube goldeberg machines. We'll work on these all this week, which is how we're getting excited about simple machines, our next science topic. Don't forget to bring in materials you'd like to use...and please remember that we're trying to really re-use materials. In the afternoon, it was coding time. We worked as a class on some loops and nested loops. Coding really gets our brains going...and sometimes ever our frustrations! We also worked on some of our mental math skills with multiplication. We used this simulation: Arithmetic! If you remember, please bring some decorating candy for a gingerbread house tomorrow - we're going to work together with our Kindie buddies in the afternoon. Sorry for not reminding everyone in class... ____________________________________________________ Upcoming Spirit Days!
