Today the 5th graders finished their drone projects! Finished videos should be added to the 5th grade digital portfolios along with their rubric, self-assessment, and reflection. If a team has not done this, they will need to either finish that work outside of class or during our next Free Choice. Videos will be premiered our first day back after Spring Break. I want to give huge props to these 5th graders. They had a lot of ups and downs during this project, but persisted and adapted throughout. They'll remember this forever!
For the last quarter, we will be exploring the microscopic world. If you have any contacts in a field that uses microscopy, we'd love to have them chat with our class!
Thank you so much to everyone that has donated to the Lowell GATE Classroom Fund this year! Your donations have purchased 2 drone kits, tons of art and engineering supplies, and 5 huge Lego sets! I have my eye on some Rubik's cubes, a full-sized microscope, and math/strategy challenges. Please click on the link below to donate to my Boise Foundation Account.
(I'll start posting as soon as I have confirmed which students from each school are on the No Photo List. Thanks for your patience!)
