So that you may go at your own pace, please use the forward arrows. What's Going on in 5/6?   Kaela reads Every Kindness to 5/6 and students find their own rock at the river to drop into the water bucket like in the story to demonstrate that kindness creates its own ripple effect just like a stone dropped in water.   5/6 launches Makerspace by asking the question: How can you design and build a boat using only natural materials to stay afloat and hold the weight of a stone for at least 30 seconds in the river? Students worked in partners to design, build, test, and assess their boat out in the school woods last Friday afternoon. 5/6 will participate in Makerspace for the last hour of school on Fridays twice a month.  Devin’s homeroom tried to save Sam the worm whose boat capsized, and he can’t swim. They worked in partners using only paperclips as tools to put Sam’s life preserver back on him, get him back into his boat (the cup), and put his oar (the toothpick) across the top . |
