Guiding Questions:
  • What is a pattern?
  • What do you know about patterns?
  • How can you tell if something is a pattern?
  • How can you tell if something is not a pattern?
  • Can patterns get bigger?
  • How do patterns build our understanding in math?

* I can come up with ideas that can be expressed through messages.
* I can include images or features to enhance my written messages.

Science
Our week was filled with building and design. Thank you to Graham and Adrienne for sharing their engineering skills with us. Students were eager to build team bridges and look forward to testing their designs next Tuesday.

*I can follow the challenge rules.
*I can explain my design.
*I can try different ideas and make changes.
*I can work as a team and share my ideas.

"The best shape for a bridge is a triangle. The people in my groups are Gabby, Grayson, and Weston. My bridge was named Minty Rainbow. The tools that we used for our bridge was popsicle sticks, paper, glow cups, and dental floss. My bridge had two layers of paper. My bridge had 4 layers of popsicle sticks. Me and my partner's bridge could hold a 1000g weight. I loved my bridge because it smelt like dental floss. Why we called are bridge Minty Rainbow was we used rainbow popsicle sticks. We had Weston's mom working with us. It was the best!" -Madison


Have a wonderful weekend!
