MPACT has begun! We are starting our second week and kids are excited about getting started! The 3rd-5th graders have gotten into camping groups, selected team leaders, and are ready to begin their assignments. First up: analyzing our state map and selecting a campground to visit. Teams will have to work together to determine mileage, highways to travel, which cities they will drive through, and what they will need when they get there. As always, safety will be stressed!
The 1st and 2nd graders have taken a walk in the Smartville Garden and recorded all that they saw. We talked about and put to practice the scientific method as we hypothesized, observed, and recorded information. Yesterday the kids went on a walk through the school yard and hopefully collected some seeds while wearing a white sock over one shoe. What fun! We will practice patience as we watch for any seeds collected to grow. (The socks were moistened, placed into milk cartons, and placed in the window.)
*Please note: The other MPACT classes may be a day behind or ahead of me, depending on what the kidsA. Romberg
