Good evening parents and students!
Today had a very fun morning filled with pancakes! Students were extremely enthusiastic when it came to our pancake eating competition.
After all the madness of pancakes, we got straight to work!

Tomorrow is also a special day as it is Spirit Day for Valentine's Day! Students are encouraged to dress in white, red, and pink! 

Math:
Today we continued to look at graphs but instead focused on Line Graphs! We looked at how line graphs are used to show changes over time. I spent lots of time making sure that students understood that when creating a line graph I have to make sure my scales are on lines. These lines are what we use to plot our points. Once our points (each point represents a piece of data) we have to connect them with a straight line. This line helps us see different changes over the time periods.
I also spent time at the beginning of the lesson to once again look at intervals so that students had a good understanding.


I was also super impressed with how well students are beginning to interpret graphs all on their own!

UOI: Human Body
Students today finished and presented their handouts about their systems! It was clear to see that students have become very knowledgeable about the systems they researched and were able to pass on that knowledge to their peers. This is a great lead into what we will be starting tomorrow! We will be completing stations for each system so that students understands what organs are in each systems and what they do for our body.
Students also went home with a field trip permission form. YES ANOTHER FIELD TRIP! YAY! 
We will be going to the Science Center and have signed up to take part in a workshop about the Human Body!
We are looking for parent volunteers, so if you are interested in joining us that day please fill out the form accordingly!
