STEM Rec Challenges
December 11 - 15
Science
Hearing Focus Challenge. We have a single mouth and nose, but two ears. Do we benefit from hearing in stereo? We're going to experiment to see if two ears are really better than one and compare our ears to some animal super-hearers.
Literacy - Morgan D
Letter Writing. In literacy this week students will have the opportunity to practice their writing skills as they write letters to those who might need a pick-me-up. In the spirit of the holiday season, students will have the chance to brighten the lives of others such as children in the hospital or military members serving away from their families. Tis the season to spread some warmth into the world!
Social Studies
Chinese mythology. When I say ‘dragons’ you probably think King Arthur. When you hear about gods and monsters Ancient Greece likely comes to mind. Perhaps we should stay in China another week and open up a new world of mythology.
Engineering / Math / Art
Foxville Christmas Village. Students will continue the design and construct of their own building to be included in our FDA Christmas Village. Students will then paint and decorate their building at the art station. The village will be on display through the month of December. We are hopeful this will be an exciting and unify project for our student body. We need parents to help in the design/construction process and the painting/decorating process. Thank you to all those who helped last week. Please see sign up page on facebook if you are interested.
