It looked just like Santa's workshop this afternoon in room C5. Students had the task of reading the directions and assembling the wood pieces using nails and screws. They did awesome. We even got to painting them, but will have to finish tomorrow. Good life lessons!
We kicked off our holiday week at school with "hat day" on Monday. The other dress up days this week include "dress as your favorite holiday character", "ugly/holiday sweater", and "PJ/crazy holiday sock" days.
In trying to understand how life was different during the original 13 colonies, today we made quill pens and completed an assignment with them.
Today in science we investigated the nervous system and learned how neurons work. To investigate, we created a cup that would drop. The goal was to move the hand before the cup hit it. We tested our dominant hand and nondominant hand, then experimented with our feet. Students learned that we have slower reactions based on how far the neurons have to carry the information for our body to react.
