Our Scientists this week were Sarabeth, Jakob and Faizan. Again some very neat experiments. I am impressed with the students ability now to make hypotheses, good observations and conclusions.
We celebrated both Grace's Birthday (her actual birthday is July 21st) and Amanda's who birthday is today.
Today the students had an opportunity to use all the materials we had used during our structures unit and build whatever structures they wanted. It was interesting to watch them apply the knowledge they have learned and you could feel they weren't near as frustrated and more willing to try new ideas to make their structures more stable or higher etc.
Today was also our Gallery Walk. It was really cool to see all the art Fairview students created. We discussed all the different mediums, techniques and favourites. If you haven't had a chance to do the gallery walk please feel free to come by to take a look (just check in at the office).
After our gallery walk we had a special presentation from Gabriella Morrison. An artist who explained her life, how she loved art and how she created her many different pieces. The students were very engaged and asked some great questions.
