Week of February 29-March 4

This week was our last week of engineering! I was very impressed with my 3rd graders final presentations related to our oil spill unit. I learned a lot about cruise ships, renewable energy sources, the Keystone Pipeline, and land v. oil spills!

The 4th graders shared their successes and failures related to their Lego design challenges. I really admired the students' ability to persevere when faced with a lot of obstacles, and it was interesting to see how each groups approached similar tasks in such unique ways!

The 5th graders shared their passion projects with some G&T students from other classes. It was so much fun to see what everyone had been working on. We discussed how we learned a lot about ourselves during this unit. Some of us loved the chance to work on an independent, self-guided project, while others were intimidated by the task (at least at first).

A hat that brings happiness to people!
