Home Learning week 10

Posted: June 8, 2020

Hi Folks, 

   Welcome to the final week of Learning from Home!  This will be the final week that we post learning opportunites for you to do at home and report cards will be going home next week (stay tuned for how you will be able to pick those up).

MATH - Dreambox is still the way to go.  Challenge yourself to finish at least 5 activities a day.  Even though this is the last week for work being posted, I believe that Dreambox will still be available to you for most of June.  

A good no-tech option this week would be to challenge yourself to learn the card game Crib.  It requires you to use some good mental math skills.  There are lots of youtube instructional videos, and here is the link to the official rules https://bicyclecards.com/how-to-play/cribbage/

SCIENCE - This weeks science challenge is all about boat building.  Summer gives us so many opportunities to explore and discover.  Water worthy vessels have a long history of exploring and sailing our seas.  They come in all shapes and sizes and have a variety of interesting features.  There are sailboats, houseboats, rafts, catamarans, pontoons, yachts, canoes, and so many more!  
Your challenge this week is to design and construct a model boat that is sea worthy and resistant to capsizing. See more in the attached STEM brouchure.

Another fun one (and I am stealing this from Ms. Squire) is to go outside and make an ICE VOLCANO!  All you need is water, baking soda, vinegar, food coloring, a container to make your volcano, and golf Balls(or any balls that will sink).  Here is a link for how to do this.  Make an ice volcano.

Have fun and as always, if you need anything, just reach out.

Mr. Richard
