4th Grade: Our fourth grade GATE students are putting the finishing touches on their inventions. We explored the process one goes through to invent something. Then students created their own unique inventions. They created scale drawings, wrote descriptions, and created a prototype for their invention. We have had some very creative inventions so far. How about an "air bag" belt to prevent falls when you trip?...or a mechanical claw set that can be attached to your cat if it has been declawed, bouncy shoes, a waterproof book so you can read in the hot tub, and more!
5th grade: We are working on the last stages for the Passion Projects. Our drama group has started a drama club that will start meeting this Friday. We have started reading a new set of historical fiction novels: Sophia's War, Give Me Liberty and Johnny Tremain. The students chose which book they wanted to read, and will be meeting in literature circles to discuss the books two days a week during our GATE class.
