Our Friday science museum was a terrific success. Thanks for all of the support you gave our students in making such great projects. We had such a wealth of projects and demonstrations - from onion DNA to hand-shaken butter, from non-newtonian fluids to homemade fossils. There were foaming monsters and dancing peppercorns. There was a dental floss-and-plastic-cup-duck-noise-maker and a surprisingly strong tower made out of marshmallows and spaghetti. The list goes on. Students did a great job demonstrating how they created their project and explaining the scientific concepts involved. Check our blog for photos and videos.
Last week students had a great experience in Tech Class with Mr. Jamesbarry. They were able to create their own game or interactive scene using a programming environment called Scratch. They then used Makeymakey kits to create a a game controller that would operate their games.
Next Tuesday 5/3, we are heading downtown for our visit to the Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center to learn about the history of Japanese Americans in Oregon. If you have not yet sent in the permission slip for the trip, please get it to us soon. Also if you did not send the $5 get that to us too so we can reimburse our class account for the bus pass. The cafeteria also needs to know soon if your child will need a school lunch for that day, so get those forms in!
Thanks,
Mark
