Windmill Wednesday!!! Wowser!!


A LOT of learning and sharing took place today, 5B!  That is for sure!  I was so impressed by your group's creativity and problem solving!  It took 4 teachers working together almost 1 1/2 hours to do this same activity, and I think 5th graders had MUCH better ideas!  I told you this was YOUR TIME!  Be ready for more deep thinking and problem solving for Thursday and Friday!  We will be moving onto tougher concepts with Wind Turbines (NOT the same as Windmills, right?!!)

Be sure to share with families what you thought of, your designs, how you problem-solved or changed your idea after trying it out!

Don't forget Cadet Pride Club Applications are due before next Wednesday, Feb. 27.  Also, I'll be happy to reward the students who can encourage parents to join us at the PTO meeting tonight at 5:30 in the Discovery Center:)

I'll know you checked the blog if you make a drawing of another way you could have put your windmill together.  There are so many ideas, I'm curious what you'd do if you had a 2nd time to try!  Make sure your name is on it, and hand it to me in the morning!  See you soon!

2 Videos for Flipped Classroom Tonight!  Don't skip the 2nd one.
