Students will use information they have collected for their I-Search informational research project to begin creating digital slides next week. The project is due on May 1. Students will share their research as a digital presentation during our I-Search Conference on May 1.
Math: Students used MobyMax to practice adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators, or multiplying fractions.
Here are recent and upcoming skills from Khan Academy:
It would be helpful for students to continue working on these skills at home if they haven’t had enough time in class to master them.
Homework is to practice math for 15 minutes or more using MobyMax or Khan Academy, and to work on MobyMax FactMaster for 5 minutes.
Science: Today was the first day of the A World in Motion (AWIM) Jet Toy Challenge. Local engineers helped students begin to design a balloon jet-powered toy car. Today, students were designing the chassis.
