Science, Kindergarten Buddies, and Dot Day Fun

Which brand of paper towel is the best? In science this week, we used experimental design to develop a test to help us answer this question.  We identified independent, dependent, and controlled variables in order to ensure our test was fair.  Ask your child which paper towel brand you should buy!

We have been busy in 5th grade!  Last week we met our Kindergarten Buddies and helped them build circuits during MakerSpace.

In celebration of Dot Day, we learned how we can all make our mark on the world.  We can be creative, hard working, and helpful.  We can share our talents and our kindness with others to make our mark.  Here are some pictures of helping our Kindergarten Buddies today.

This week we set up our Ipads!!  We are learning together how and when to use them in class.  So far, they have helped us all to learn to be patient. :)  Today we used an art app called Quiver.  The students designed and colored a "dot".

Then we used the Quiver app to turn our art into a 3D design!  Check it out!
