Yesterday and today, students are coming in to pick up materials. It's so great to see everyone in person!

The Demo-2 rocket did not launch today due to poor weather in Florida today but tomorrow we will launch paper Demo-2 rockets rain or shine.  We studied the history of Memorial Day today.  We joined Mystery Doug for a live event discussing questions about space and featuring Jessica Meir, an astronaut who just returned from the International Space Station. (She also graduated from the same school Mrs. Riggs and I attended - UC San Diego.) So cool!  Today, most of the class showed up to our Google Meet with customized masks. This would have been very weird a few months ago but now it's the new normal. Room 18 scholars are looking stylish. We tried again and today the scholars are recording Flipgrid videos and sharing details about their lives. Good stuff!  Today, we started our journey to deeper Flipgrid proficiency. I reviewed ways to customize videos in order to share details about who we are. Then, the link didn't work. :(. We'll try again tomorrow. If at first you don't succeed try, try again!  We saw a couple bridge designs today, worked on shapes in math, discussed how to properly answer questions and celebrated Chocolate Chip Cookie Day. I'm looking forward to next week!  During the lockdown, we have been celebrating silly holidays. Today, we told chicken jokes, shared our favorite chicken-themed movies, and even did the chicken dance. I did squeeze in a fun math lesson on shapes. |
