Homework: No assignments other than reading.
Reading (20 min): Book club books need to be finished this week.
This week: Our last week of school will be a combination of finishing projects and enjoying each other's company. We will plan our Friday together in the coming days. If your child has a summer birthday and decides to celebrate with us, please be in touch.
Engineering Olympics: Today we had our final Engineering Olympics event - the golf ball challenge followed by an awards ceremony. Each group in "medal" categories explained their success with the 3 events. Everyone received a gold medal!
Gold medals were given to categories: Solar Ovens: hottest fastest, highest temperature reached (90º Celcius, which is about 193º Fahrenheit), and heat retention. Catapults: median distance. Golf Ball Retriever: Fastest retrieval average.
Each medal placing group explained their reasons for success.
All that panning for gold paid off for Iris!
The medal ceremony.
Proud Olympians.
