Algebraic thinking:
We continued on in our Hands on Equations lessons. The kids are doing well with more challenging concepts. They are realizing that the work takes full concentration to fully understand it!
Unit Study:
We closed out our Genius Hour Unit with Presentations today. I was totally impressed with the kids' knowledge, their passion, and their creativity in sharing their learning. So many fantastic projects! Very impressed with these kiddos!
We also started our last unit for the year, Frog Research. Frogs are an indicator species, so we must pay attention to the impact of pollution, climate, destruction of habitat and pesticide use on frogs to see the potential for larger impact on other creatures. Each student chose their own frog to research. We'll also be learning all about frog anatomy to be ready for our Frog Dissection in May.
Until next time,
Dr. Kraeger
