Dear Division 8 families,<\/p>\n

–Remembrance Day<\/strong> Bulletin Board- Stained Glass Poppy Art<\/p>\n

Halloween Day\/Eerie Elementary Novel Celebration<\/strong><\/p>\n

-peanut butter sandwiches; the idea that saved the children from a school that is alive!<\/p>\n

-our wonderful costumes<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Counting and Estimating Large Numbers<\/strong><\/p>\n

-I demonstrated how to count and estimate using small groups of 10, as we counted all our pumpkin seeds from ‘Cookie Bon Bon’\u00a0 (the children’s selected name for their pumpkin)<\/p>\n

-then the students began to count a variety of collections from pasta to pompoms to old keys<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Applied Design, Skills, and Technologies<\/strong><\/p>\n

-We spend most of the year connecting our learning to water (salt water and fresh water)<\/p>\n

-we have been exploring the concept of “landforms”, noticing that many landforms we have above ground also exist below the ocean.\u00a0 We connected our earthquake drill to a question.\u00a0 How do earthquakes happen?\u00a0 \u00a0That led us to tectonic plates and a hands-on ADST project.<\/p>\n

The Goal:<\/strong> construct a three story building out of marshmallows, cardboard, and toothpicks and have it survive a 15 second earthquake as it sat upon a red Jello jiggling surface!<\/p>\n

-the students created great designs<\/p>\n

-just about all of our structures survived!<\/p>\n

-we learned a lot about what made our structures work; there were many approaches and not just one design worked<\/p>\n

**special thank you to past PAC’s that purchased the CHOMP SAW that made it so easy for us to cut our cardboard.\u00a0 Bonus: it is finger safe! It’s a rapidly moving hole puncher that cuts cleanly and added so much precision to our structures.<\/p>\n
