Dear Parents,
We have had a
very busy first week back with students! We missed having our regular classes
during testing, but are so thrilled to have new Target students!
Our new 1st
graders have begun Leonardo DaVinci: The Ultimate Renaissance Man. We have
talked about what it means to be a Renaissance Man (being good at many
different things) and how we are all Renaissance Boys and Girls! We will learn
about Leonardo’s interests in science, art, engineering/design and even music!
We are looking forward to getting to know our youngest Target students!
2nd
grade is beginning their new unit – Cubism! Cubism incorporates the art and
science of the cube. We will learn about Pablo Picasso and his art –
particularly his ability to let go of perfection and embrace the (sometimes
messy) creative process! We will learn about math theories behind the cube and
learn to “do the (Rubik’s) cube”!
3rd
graders will be embarking on many adventures in “Mission Possible: Coding and
Programming”. We have met and named our rovers, now it’s time to start
programming! We will learn about how to code, what it means to ‘program’ and
the past, present and future of Robotic technology!
4th
grade wrapped up our ‘Survival: Wit vs Wilderness’ unit with a service learning
project that will help others survive. We collected and assembled supplies for cold
weather and snack kits to be donated to MUST ministries Elizabeth Inn. Thank
you so much for your contributions! It was a huge success!
5th
grade is working SO hard on Ignite! It is really exciting to see their ideas
come to life! The next few Fridays will be a mad dash to the finish! We’re
looking forward to our local competition and Georgia Tech!
Be on the lookout
for upcoming information about Genius Hour projects.
Thanks for your support,
Mrs. Sanders and Mrs.
Parsons
