Week in Review: Life Lessons and K'Nex Cars 1/29/16

This week our Week In Review video is focused around readers' workshop.  Your children have been learning that books can teach us many life lessons.  If we stop and take the time to consider each character in a story, they can teach us many things about life.  The students selected books that they felt the strongest connection to and created a video segment to discuss the life lesson that they learned from the story.

We hope you enjoy our Life Lessons Week in Review!

In Science we will be learning about Motion and Design over the next few weeks.  This week the students had a chance to explore using K'Nex and built a car of their own design.  Once their car was constructed, they had to complete a challenge.  Below you can see pictures of the cars that the children constructed.
