Before starting Thanksgiving vacation, the students participated in a STEM challenge where they built bridges using cranberries, toothpicks, and index cards. To test their effectiveness, we used gram weights to measure how much weight each bridge could hold. It was impressive to see the final designs and how strong many of the structures turned out to be.
The families at Hunsberger put together an extremely impressive Field Day. Students had 10 different rotations with an opportunity to spend 10 minutes at each one. A pretty terrific day to end a pretty terrific year.
We continue to make huge academic strides and cover a lot of content. We completed our work with place value and have started a unit on multi-digit multiplication. We continued our study of the Earth and Sun with activities in and out of the classroom. We moved a Which One Doesn’t Belong to the four square area and thanks to our art volunteers, finished a lesson that integrated our language standards.
We packed a lot in this week and not only did a series of community building activities, but also got to a lot of content. We worked in all of our subject areas, went outside for PE, and finished our first art project. An amazingly fun and productive week!
