Geography Unit on Asia Continues

We have almost completed our entire wall map of Asia, there are only a few pieces of tape left! The boys have also finished web-researching their chosen Asian countries.

Below is a video of their geography activities.

Geography Unit on Asia

Today we had Ms. Hannah visit us to talk about her trip to Asia last summer. Below is the wonderful iMovie she made of pictures and videos from her visit.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Ms. Hannah!

In P.E. we started lacrosse. We can not start games yet since some people still need to learn!

Math Class Input Output Tables

In class today we spent more time working with input and output tables. We began by reading "Two of Everything" to extend the idea of input-rule-output. Feel free to read the fable below and then check out some of the students "Magic Pot" creations!

Final Pi Day Activities

The 9th and 10th Age students were challenged with memorizing the first 10 digits of Pi. If over 100 students accomplished this task, the top memorizers would toss a "Pi-E" at our lower school headmaster. The students went above and beyond, with 130 students memorizing 10 or more digits. All of the classes had fun watching the Pi-E tossing yesterday!

Additional kudos goes out to our class's top Pi memorizer! Way to go!
Enjoy the two videos of our final Pi Day events.

Google Documents

We have continued to work with our Google Document in reading class. Below is a video of the students working together to edit it. The students also used the "chat" feature of the document to determine which vocabulary words each pair was locating. Terrific work!

Pi Day

We had several exciting Pi Day activities for March 14th (3.14). Here is a video of some of the activities completed in math class. We made bracelets identifying the digits of Pi and used compasses to identify the relationship between the diameter of a circle, Pi, and the circle's circumference. Today brings our final activities, check back later for more!
