  7th and 8th graders have been working hard this past month in Makerspace to get their Tinkercad designs printed on our new 3D45 3D Dremel Printer!

  It's been a thrilling week in Makerspace! Students in K-2 finalized their first Makerspace challenge: 'Index Card Towers'. Students in 5th grade held a talking circle about how to work in groups. Students in 3rd-8th also began working in groups to engineer a bucket tower to hold as much weight as they could. Some students' buckets held up to 100 grams of weight! Wow!

  In Science class this week, students in grades 6-8 began their SEPUP inquiry units by becoming familiar with their textbook structure and text features of informational Science textbooks. Each grade level then began the first lessons of their prospective units: Weather and Climate for grade 6; From Cells to Organisms for grade 7; and Reproduction for grade 8.
  The slide show depicts a few scenes of students working in small cooperative groups, our class pet Bearded Dragon lizards, and a pic of what one 7th grade microbiologists group observed under their light microscope, an amoeba shaped as a house cat :)

  5th and 6th grade students have been drumming and learning the history behind some of the instruments in the music room. Here you can see them playing tubano drums, a djembe, a gonkogui, and shekeres. Ask your child to tell you about these instruments at home. What are they made of? Where are they from? What are they used for in the cultures that they come from?
