What a busy week we are having!  Ask us about the boats we are building.  We first learned about different boats and how boats are built, than we drew a design for our boat and now we are building it from recycled materials!  We are hard at work and our room resembles a major industrial work place!!  Check out the photos of some of our boats in progress.  We also developed a rubric for our boats and will do our first buoyancy and load test this week.  Next week we have visiting scientist  who will further explain boats and buoyancy and than we will have an opportunity to refine our boats.  We are excited to share our final work with you at parent conferences in March!!
We are also exploring Inuit artifacts to help us understand Inuit culture.  We have finished our Arctic animal research and have been learning about Inuit legends.  We will be writing our own legends soon.
And of course, we celebrated 100 days of school on Tuesday.  Students dressed up to look 100 years old!  What fun!
