We've had another awesome week with our Target students!
1st graders are learning how to be awesome Target thinkers! We are so proud of our youngest Target students! This week, they became convergent thinking detectives as we learned about how to think about clues and find the 'one right answer'. We were able to decode Amelia Earhart's secret message!
2nd graders are still traveling the world with Audrey Aims! She even paid us a visit this past week and told us about being an art conservator! Your children may have told you about our "stinky" acids and bases lab. Cabbage juice works very well as a pH indicator solution - but it sure does smell bad! Our next task will be to use our knowledge of acids and bases to create an authentic Egyptian Papyrus!
3rd graders finished our STEM mini-unit with catapults and cardboard castles! We began learning about the relationship between feudalism and the game of chess as we know it today. We will continue to learn about the history of Chess and it spread throughout the ancient world! Kid Chess will be coming soon to teach the children how to play. Be prepared for your child to become "chess-obsessed!"
4th grade tribes are learning how to 'survive'! They began planning their dream vacations this past week. We can't tell the details yet, but there will be surprise twist in their dream vacation plans! =)
5th grade is focusing on empathy as the first phase of the Ignite unit. We enjoyed a 'snack in the dark' to spark conversation and reflection about people with differences and how they might experience the world in a unique way.
Thank you so much for all the donations of supplies and unit materials. We couldn't do it without you! Have a great weekend!
