M-STEP ReviewWe are done with the M-STEP and boy does it feel GOOD! I was so proud of how hard the kids worked on this challenging test. There was nothing easy about it, but they sure didn't give up. They took on the challenge like champs and were so careful to work through all of their problems on scrap paper before inputting their answers. They truly worked their hardest and I am so proud of them! If your child missed a test or is still working on a portion of a test, they will be working on completing this on Monday. Field Trip Wednesday!Our field trip to the Grand Rapids Public Museum is this week! We are super excited because we have added in the planetarium this year. If you are chaperoning, a letter will be coming home with more details on our schedule for the day as well as a scavenger hunt to use in the museum. Please bring this along with you when you meet us on Wednesday. A few reminders: * All students must ride the bus to and from the museum. * Please NO additional siblings on this trip. * Pack sack lunches that can be completely thrown away. We will not have access to a bus or a place to store lunch bags or containers. * If you are chaperoning, please no gift shop. The kids will be informed of this as well to help with the asking! * Chaperones will meet us at the museum at 9:20. Our bus will depart from Park at 9:00am. * We will be leaving the museum at 1:30 to return to school. If you wish to pick your child up early, please meet us back at Park and sign your child out. If you have any other questions that I have not covered, please email me! Water Filter ExperimentLast week the students wrapped up their recycling unit with a water filter experiment. They worked together to design a filter that would take out dirt, oil, and other pollutants from the water. Choices to build their filter included: cotton balls, gauze, sand, crushed charcoal, pebbles, paper towel, and scraps of coffee filter. It was interesting to see how many students avoided the "dirtier" items like sand, charcoal, and pebbles. In the end we took a look at which filter was the most successful and determined what could have been done to build a better filter. Check out some of our pictures! Reminders:Wednesday - Field Trip to museum
