Greetings!

The weeks are flying by! Hard to believe that we are entering our final full week, such a bittersweet time of the year.  

Our weather project was a wonderful learning experience! I hope your child shared some of the fun that they had.  Mr. Weber was amazing and walked us through the whole process of using WeVideo and how a green screen works.  One student had a green shirt on so we had fun playing around with that a bit - his shirt became part of the background footage!  Partners worked together before the "broadcast" to choose the type of weather they wanted to talk about, what warnings they may want to give to their audience, and what video they wanted to use.  Students then had fun standing in front of the green screen and recording their forecast. Later that day Mr. Weber returned and showed us how to add our green screen recordings into WeVideo. There were lots of giggles during this time. Please enjoy the finished product below!

Notes:

6/13:  Field Day, in the morning.

6/14   Guest teacher.  Mrs. Poor is out preparing for her son's graduation!

6/18:  Last Student Day!

  This week was filled with duckling-hatching, insect research, and weather exploration.  We are excited about a weather forecasting project we will participate in this Wednesday morning with Mike Weber. Stay tuned for more on that!

Students enjoyed playing another new Math Bump game.  This game involved adding two to each number that was rolled.  They did very well with this multi-step direction game - roll, add, bump!  Next week we will finish the last section of our unit and we will be weighing and comparing using scales.

Notes:

This Wednesday we will also be dying t-shirts. We will use permanent paint so you may consider sending your child to school in old clothing and shoes.
