Engineering Project
Earlier this year we learned about weathering and erosion. During that time, one topic of interest that came up was how beach erosion can really affect our coastline. Plum Island here in Massachusetts was used as an example. As a result of student interest, we will jump back into science by looking at erosion through an engineering lens. Students will be starting a project in which they will attempt to develop a solution to the problem of beach erosion.
We will need some supplies in order to make this happen! If you have any lying around your home, could you please help us?
chicken wire
screens
cardboard
Styrofoam
fabric
recyclables
paper towels
bags of soil
cotton balls

Math Assessment
We finished another math module last week. Students were assessed and will be going over the results and reflecting on them tomorrow. I will be sending home the assessment this week for everyone to look at. There is an option to ask for extra practice so feel free to request this if you feel it is appropriate for your child.
Vocabulary
Thank you so much to all of the families for helping your child to study their math vocabulary at home. I have noticed a difference here in school during math. This week students will be asked to review the words that have already been assigned. New words will go home after February vacation.
