Good evening parents and students! 

Apparently my blog from Friday did not post correctly. Here are some pictures for the wet, but fun trip that we had!

Math:
Today students created/finished their survey questions, created possible answers, and began to survey their peers about heathy eating/ exercise habits. Tomorrow students will complete their survey and begin to create their graphs to display the data. Once the graph is completed they will be finding the mean, median, mode, and range of the data. From these two things, students are to interpret understandings that the data represents. 

UOI: Human Body:
Students completed the next steps of their design cycle. Many students were able to show a great understanding of the function and components of their system. However, it was also clear that others need to do extra research at home to better understand the parts of their system so that they can explain it to others. Students are to bring in materials for the model that they chose from their brainstorming sessions in class.
Tomorrow will also be our Body Systems Quiz. In class we went over every question and discussed the correct answer as a class. Students are to go home and go over the information that they know in preparation for the quiz.

 Students really enjoyed the warm sun at recess!

NOTES:
