ARTIFACT MUSEUM
It was nice to see the respect each learner exhibited towards everyones objects during our artifact museum time. In reflection, one learner shared, " I liked how everyone took it seriously." They really seemed to grasp the meaningfulness behind the activity. Learning that their own family has a rich history with a story to tell, as well as their fellow classmates, will hopefully add depth to learning the stories that are connected with California's history. A few photos are enclosed. Please visit our room to see the write ups and photos of each learner with their object displayed.
LAB DAY
It was all about Magnets for this week's Lab Day. After some free exploration with magnets last Friday, the learners continued their lesson with some observing lodestone, seeing what a magnet attracts/doesn't, seeing what a magnet can attract an object through, lines of magnetism (magnet's force field/lines of flux), and poles. We'll be continuing to answer questions in the weeks ahead.
BUDDIES
Robin and I really enjoyed being a part of the first K/1- 4 buddies meeting. The fourth graders really stepped up to the plate in their role as "big buddies". After singing, meeting new buddies, new handshakes, and some activity time, the fourth graders said the experience left them feeling, "proud", "like a teacher", "responsible" and "mature". They really felt good about themselves and their ability to help mentor a younger child.
