monday recap

12/6/2016

 
Here is a quick recap of Monday’s events:
  • The Wonders of Chemistry with Jen
    • Exploration of the concept of density. Kids poured a variety of household liquids into a clear cup, noting the layering (or lack of) that occurred.
  • Tacky the Penguin
    • Penguins and narrators cut out penguin feet, bow ties and white bellies for their costumes. Black shirts were found.
    • Hunters all have brown/gray shirts to wear.
      • If anyone has lightweight items that a hunter could carry as “gear,” please send it in next Monday. I am going to gather items from school and home that they can carry but additional pieces would be helpful.
      • Anyone have brown and/or gray face paint at home that we can use next Monday to add a little umph to our hunters?
    • Our icy backdrop and hill have been created. We are adding “water” on Monday.
    • We did a walk-through of the play, working out our movements.
    • Please help your child to rehearse their lines this week and develop a feel for where they fall in the story.
    • Next week, we will set up the room, get into costume and do about two rehearsals before the performance.
    • PERFORMANCE: The performance will be next Monday at 11:30. Kelly Ann’s Core 1 students will be joining us in the audience.
  • ESMoA pre-visit
    • Chelsea visited and got us prepped for Thursday.
    • We discussed what makes ESMoA unique and museum expectations.
    • We looked at 2 pieces from the collection (photo portraits of Mr. Obama and Malala). We made observations and talked about the feeling/tone of each.
    • The Experience incorporates 396 black and white photo portraits of Nobel Peace Prize recipients.
  • Hour of Code
    • It was the best of times, it was the worst of timesJL
    • Just about every technology glitch possible happened. But the kids really hung in and showed great flexibility and perseverance.
    • Some kids completed a lot of coding work, some only a little.
    • Here is how you can follow up at home:
      • Support your child in exploring additional coding tutorials here
      • Explore the free computer science curriculum available here
        • They have courses appropriate for all ages, K-12.
