Hope many of you can join us at the International Dinner next Tuesday night!
We had snow much fun in Four Winds today. We talked about snow! We learned that snowflakes start as a speck and eventually end up as beautiful snowflakes. It was observed that the six arms of a snowflake are all the same, so we used our bodies to make some life sized snowflakes. We also got to learn about the different types of snowflakes! Thanks to our wonderful Four Winds volunteers.
We also have launched a two week exploration into magnets with an anchoring event of understanding how a maglev train works! Third graders are currently rotating between the three classrooms to explore magnets and their properties. All of this work is to prepare for next week when they become engineers and have to design and build their own maglev train! In Ms. Pacy's room we are exploring the poles of magnets doing some "magnetic sailing". In Ms. Bergstrom's room students are exploring the strength of magnets, and in Mrs. Cole's room students are working to identify what can impact a magnetic field. This has also been a great opportunity for third graders to work with kids from different classes!
