Fall-Feeling Friday

Hello 201!

I can't wait for to share our CAC projects with you!   Your students have created some amazing content -based works!  I hope to post some photographs soon.

Today we:

• Finished making our comets
• Watched and discussed a Bill Nye the Science Guy segment on Buoyancy.
• Created oil pastel and water color diagrams of the Water Cycle
• Met with Focus Groups
• Went to Gym
• Went to Science Art

This weekend:

• graph your Multiplication Madness results.  
• Prepare your Monday's level.  If you are stuck, or if you are getting into the higher numbers, you should write out each fact several times.  
• Read a book of your choice and respond in your journal. 
• Extra Credit: Complete the experiment that I posted on Edmodo last week
• Extra Credit: Watch the Billy Nye Video that I will soon post on Edmodo.  Make your own Fact Finder ( use blank or lined paper) to show what you've learned. 

Next week:

• We will dedicate a great deal of time to our focus groups
• We will work on staging, blocking, and transitions
• We will create our Lava Lamps
• We will finish our Water Cycle Art 
• We will create Physical Change Origami art

Happenings ( and not happenings)

• We did not have a spelling, or any other type of Reading test today.  We will work these in next week.  Once the CAC is over, it will be back to normal!
• Our show is this Friday, October 12 at 9:30.
• Don't forget that dismissal time on Wednesday is 11:30!
• Parents, email me so that I can send you your Edmodo parent code.  You can then create your own account that is linked to the 201 account!

CAC News/Needs:

• We need clear, clean plastic bottles, with caps, for Monday's Lava Lamp project.
• We also need corn oil!
• Alka Seltzer tablets ( for the Lava Lamps)
• Do you have a grey "granny" type wig?  Old Mama Matter needs one for our show!
• We also need three hard hats or "construction worker" costume hats.

If you are able to donate any of these items, it will be greatly appreciated.  Costume items will be returned!

Thank you, 201, for another great week!
