Hello!!!!
It has been a while since I talked to you and I apologize for that, but we have been very busy here at school. The kids started a new project that was designed by the state, so it is very different from what they are used to doing. I have been right there with them and helping them get through it, since it is so new. They are researching upset tummy remedies to find a chewable tablet and liquid with the same active ingredients, but different brands. They want to find out which one will get rid of the upset tummy the fastest and why, using information found on the internet and what we learned in class about solids and liquids. It has been a very interesting project for all of us and we have actually enjoyed it. The hardest part has been to find out why. When we discussed the solid vs. liquid part of why, they could figure that one out, but there is not information on that part on the internet. We did find out that sugar plays a role in medicines and how the help you get better. It was very exciting. We will be finishing up with these tomorrow and playing them in front of the class on Friday. I am waiting for our technology director to email directions on how they can email their voice threads to me. There were some steps to follow that I was unclear on how to do, so he is going to figure it out for me. These voice threads can be accessed from the internet, so you will have to let your child show it to you!!! Next week, we will be working on speed, time and position. It will be involving graphs and looking at them to decide on the speed of an object. The students will get velocity and acceleration in high school. I will be back on here next week to tell you what is going on with speed. Have a great rest of your week and weekend!!! Remember, if you need anything, please email me or call me. My available time is 8:45 to 9:25.
