| One of my very favorite pictures! The students are flying kites to learn about wind direction and speed. Learning at its best! |
I am sad to see our first science unit wrap up this week! The kids have loved learning about science using inquiry -- a hands on method that allows them to create the learning for themselves. I would like to write a sternly worded letter to Mother Nature however. We were seriously lacking in wind this week and last when we were trying to test our wind vanes and pinwheels! Of course it was always windy in the afternoons -- just not in the mornings when we had science! On Friday we took our test and I was thrilled to see the students explaining what they had learned about air and wind. We will be coming back to science in a few weeks and will be learning about weather, seasons, and the cycles of the moon. Stay tuned!!!
