I think Jesus has a sense of humour, especially when it comes to kids!
Today in our assembly, the words to morning song seemed to be a little bit changed....
perhaps our assistant principal had something to do with it??
It was all for a great reason though!
This brave teacher had his beard shaved off in front of the entire school body. He offered this as a reward for meeting the challenge of selling tickets for an upcoming event.
First the beard came off,
then suddenly it was all of his hair! Hope the weather stays warm!
The students and I have been talking about what an engineer does. We know that both boys and girls can become engineers.
These are the steps that an engineer uses to try and solve a problem.
We are doing STEM activities all week long.
What is STEM?
STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach.
The problem for this project was based on the story of the Gingerbread Man. How could he get across the river so that he did not have to rely on the wolf?
The students were placed in small groups after they had created their own plan. They shared their ideas and they discussed which plan they would like to try.
The students worked collaboratively to create what they had planned.
The discussions were rich. At this group I heard "We are going to have to change the plan because the marshmallows are so heavy that they are falling down." Great insight.....
The students were focussed and worked well together!
I think that they really enjoyed themselves!
Look how this group checked over the original plan to make sure they were on the right track.
At the end, the entire class went from one group's project to another and each student got a chance to share their experiences. They explained their thinking and even shared if they thought they were successful or not. I was extremely impressed for this being the 30th day of school!
