How to use a foldscope
How to use a foldscope
This week, the student became Foldscope pros! They learned how to create a paper slide, how to view a glass slide, how to use the Foldscope manually or with a tablet, and how to turn the Foldscope into a projector! Most students also used their Choice Time to explore with the class set of digital microscopes. There were some pretty frightening microscopic photos taken of scalps and ears... all in the name of science!
As the unit continues, the students will be continuing their exploration of the microcosmos through art and using the Western Scientific Method.
Also, please head over to the students' Book Creator Portfolios to see their final reflections on the abstract art/personality study.
GATE Conferences
GATE Conferences
I don't have the capacity to have conferences with all 100 of my students' families, but if you have any questions for me about my observations from the first 7-8 GATE classes, feel free to shoot me an email or arrange a time to chat on the phone/video chat. You can also ask your student to show you around their Book Creator Portfolio entries from this year.

I know that it can be annoying to get even more emails, especially from a school your child only attends once a week. However, we need to keep you on the Lowell parent communication list because that is how we efficiently communicate to parents in the case of a school-wide emergency. Our admin assistant, Sam, is really good about only sending out a couple school-wide messages per month, so feel free to just delete those non-emergency emails as they arise.

Consider Donating to the GATE Classroom
Consider Donating to the GATE Classroom
As we begin our school year and face new challenges, we are seeking new ways to enrich your child's education both in person and virtually. Our current wish list includes a set of classroom cameras (~$100 ea), Rubiks Cubes ($12), and a hand-held vacuum cleaner! I just put in a grant application to get 6 iPads (and accessories) for our classroom, so I will cross my fingers! Please click on the link below to donate to my Boise Foundation Account.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THOSE WHO ALREADY DONATED!
IT WILL BE PUT TO GOOD USE RIGHT AWAY!
