| I can hardly believe that it has been just over two months since my last blog posting. Trust me, it is not because we haven't been doing amazing things in science! We have been working hard on our menu items and so much more. The students love the menus because they get to choose which tasks they want to complete. Thank you to all the parents who continue to sign the menu when it is sent home! It helps tremendously when the students know we are all in this together! For our Read-In on November 7th, 5th grade had to choose a biography. I chose Friedrich Miescher since he was the founder of DNA and we are in our Genetics and Heredity unit! For our activity we made DNA out of Twizzlers, mini marshmallows and toothpicks. The students had an awesome time! Some of you parents got to see your child's DNA in person. Others didn't because some kids couldn't resist their sweet tooth and consumed them before class was over. Each class period I selected a Scientist to assist with passing out materials. My Scientists were Marc, Kemera and Naykeira. We will begin our Genetics and Heredity menu Monday, November 11th. Please look over the items your child has chosen to complete in class and then sign the bottom. |
