Rube Goldberg Journal

For tonight, please take the time to reflect on how our Rube Goldberg building went today! Write one page in your red journal. Tell me how it went, what went well, what you would change for tomorrow, and what new materials you may need to complete the task. Also, please tell me about what four simple machines you have used in your building.

Please also practice your Ted Talk, and I will give you some time in class to practice with a peer again before we go forward and hear your speeches. When you complete your speech, you should have a printed copy to give to me so I can evaluate it, as well as the rubric for both speaking and writing.

Just a reminder, no school on Friday due to a Professional Development Day.

There were lots of overdue library books today for our library period, so please mark Tuesdays on your calendar as the day when library books must be returned.

A pink notice went home today about the Poinsettia fundraiser. Also, the Holidays Scholastic, for those who wanted it, went out. Orders are due on Thursday of this week, please. Sorry for the short timeline, but if items are wanted before Break, we need to make sure to order as soon as possible. Please take into mind when you order that you never can know how long orders will take to arrive, as that is up to Scholastic!

Thanks and have a good evening!
