5V News

Innovation Day:
Today, students had time to talk with each other and revise their Innovation Day ideas as needed.  We spent some time translating our topics into questions that would require thoughtful research.  We also talked about what the students envisioned for their projects.

So, at this point students should have:
1. chosen a topic
2. a guiding question
3. a plan for their project

Students also began creating a list of materials they would need from home and school. This weekend, students should talk to their families about what materials they have available from home and are welcome to begin bringing in those materials on Tuesday. 

Feel free to email me at any time this weekend with questions.  On Tuesday, we will plan out our individual schedules for the day.  Students are excited to learn and create for a full day!
