What Did You Learn in School Today?
Time Management
One of the most important executive functioning skills for our students to have moving forward to middle school is time management.
Over the next week in class, we are going to be looking at our literature circle responsibilities and explore how we can use time management to be fully prepared for our meetings each week.
Simple Machines
Students have been completing a series of challenges to help them understand concepts related to simple machines.
We are eventually going to be building vehicles that students can actually ride using our knowledge of wheels and levers. Check out our final challenge and the criteria students are using at our Evergreen Learning Commons project section.
Home Learning
Ask your child about their vehicle design or draw it for you at home. Does it meet all of our criteria? Why did they choose specific elements of their design? How would this vehicle work in Calgary in the different seasons?
Talk to your child about tools or tips that you use to manage your time at home or at work.
Hope this gives you some interesting dinner table conversation.
Best,
Mrs. Maronese
