This week at GATE, the 5th graders finished up their microscopy research and presented their process and findings to their classmates. Most students really dove into their research to analyze both quantitative and qualitative data gathered with the aid of their microscopes. The students also answered a few reflection questions for the year on their digital portfolios.
Next week is the last GATE class of the year! Students are welcome (but not required) to bring a special snack for themselves or to share with their 18 classmates.
(Sorry I missed snapping a photo of Camas' awesome presentation!)
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, 5 field microscopes, and 5 huge Lego sets! I have my eye on some more Rubik's cubes (thank you to the family that donated some old ones!!), math/strategy challenges, and some storage bins that better fit the cabinets.

(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!)
