Quest, Art Projects, and Exhibition Highlights (Session 1, Week 7)

Hello, fellow families!

Today, we’re sharing what we’ve been up to during the past week of our session. We worked on Art, Math Lab, Writers’ Workshop, and Quest, and wrapped up the week with our Session 1 Exhibition!

Writers’ Workshop: Hero Boards

This week in Writers’ Workshop, we finished our Hero Boards, completed our feedback papers, and hung our Hero Boards on the wall. We’re excited to share our work with our families!

Quest: Getting Ready for the Exhibition

In Quest, we started wrapping up our projects and preparing for our exhibition. We organized our carnival activities, including performances, food, games, rides, and more. There was a lot to prepare, and we worked hard to get everything ready!

Art: Roller Coasters and Miniature Rooms

In Art, we finished building our paper roller coasters out of cardstock and tested them to see how they worked. We also added the finishing touches to our miniature rooms and houses.

Once everything was ready, we carried our projects downstairs to the basement to prepare for the Exhibition.

Math Lab: Games and Math Challenges

In Math Lab, we started with a skip-counting game. Those who wanted a bigger challenge played Bizz Buzz!

Here’s how Bizz Buzz works:

• Say “Bizz” for multiples of 3.

• Say “Buzz” for multiples of 5.

• Say “Bizz Buzz” for multiples of both 3 and 5.

We also practiced division, subtraction, addition, and multiplication using math cards. Then we competed in an ALEKS race, where the two winners each earned two Falcon Bucks!

Session 1 Exhibition: Bringing It All Together

Our Session 1 Exhibition was the perfect way to wrap up the week! We brought together everything we had been working on and transformed the space downstairs into our very own carnival.

Our families came to explore the carnival, see our Hero Boards, and admire our Art projects. It was exciting to share what we had created and learned throughout the session.

Thank you to all the families who joined us and helped make our Exhibition a special event!
