Beautiful Weekend

Hello all!  Wasn't it a beautiful weekend?  I hope that you enjoyed time outdoors, as I am sure many of the students in this class did!  It sounds like reality will hit by mid-week when it is supposed to cool down and rain.  Happy Spring!

On Friday, we had many of our students from our class participate in the "Kid Wind Challenge."  They were to build a wind turbine out of different materials and test the amount of energy and power it generated in a wind tunnel.  The students that participated from our class were Tyler, Ashley, Chance, Hunter, Dylan, Jenaya, Cole, Hope, Ethan, Garret, Cameron, and Jay.  To our surprise, we had 3 teams  rank in the top ten of all the wind turbines built.  These teams generated high amounts of power and energy.  The teams were Ashley and Ethan, Tyler and Garret, and Cole, Hope, and Chance.  Congratulations on your accomplishments!

Your child is bringing home a WEEK long homework assignment for Story Jumper.  Your child is expected to work on Story Jumper 3 times this week.  Please see the sheet and help your child complete the assignment.  The sheet needs to be returned on Friday, May 3rd.  Thanks!

Thanks for all the help with your child's simple machine car!  The students absolutely LOVED racing the cars down the inclined plane and racing for speed and distance.  Cole had the fastest car while Nicole's car went the furthest distance.  Later this week, your child will be bringing home an assessment sheet of their car.  Please look this over and contact me with any questions.  Thanks!

Have a great week!  Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns!  Thank you!

Sincerely,
Mrs. McCarville
