Thoughts of the day- April 6

What did we do today?

  • We watched more of the City of Ember movie today.  There was a mutated mole and we saw the mayor's bunker full of food.
  • First thing this morning, we fixed up our greenhouses as many of them got tipped over by the wind yesterday.  Some of us needed new seeds, but others were lucky enough to see that their seeds have started to germinate.  Some students re-started their greenhouses from scratch and others who were away last week got to make theirs.  It was too windy to put our greenhouses out today, so we placed them by the window.
  • In science, we tested our boat prototypes and saw how much weight each would hold.  Three boats were able to hold 40 grams.
  • We started to record what the similarities and differences are between the movie and the book by creating a class Venn diagram.
  • In gym, we played prisoner's base dodgeball with Mr. O.
What questions do we have after today?
  • How many other bean plants will germinate by Friday?
  • How many more differences will we see between the movie and the book?
  • When we put our greenhouses outside, will we have any other incidents?
  • How many greenhouses blew over in Room 4?
  • Do the greenhouses that didn't tip over have a bigger advantage over those whose did?
  • What will be the biggest difference between the movie and the book?
  • How many students will reach the extra belts? (gold, silver)
