Mingi, Volume 38: June 1, 2015

Mingi (above) is known for his spontaneous laughing. Apparently, JunHyeok has gotten used to it.

...Another tremendous week! Basically, we have completed our "What Makes a Good Friend?" writing piece, completed our 3D cube creations accompanied with written instructions, and began work on the BAZAAR, BAZAAR! our summative assessment for our inquiry into how we organize ourselves- Money.

Check out this week's pictures! Enjoy your week!

Sprinkler Party this Thursday, 4 June 2:45-3:15 at school. Please have your child bring a towel and a change of clothes.

Owler: Mingi!

Homework:

 JunHyeok is back! Reagan, publishing her piece.

Some people's needs are other people's wants. How can that be?

 Awhoooooo! Let's get building!

 Ekaterina, uh, I don't know how to say this, but there's a parrot on your shoulder! Ahhh!

Apparently, something needs to be demolished with TNT! (I'm dy-no-mite!)

 Hassaan and Anthony, as well as Christopher and Braelyn, finished their pieces with a comic and puppet pal video they created, respectively. They were amazing and creative!

Reagan: "I should've used this book for my construction part of my Publisher page. So cool!"

 So, I asked students to put real-life examples of different vocabulary words from our inquiry of money, like producer, consumer, supply, demand, and so on. They were all working together and all of sudden... they turned around. I tried to capture the moment, but they caught me:)

What more can I say? Olga writing her 3D instructions for her creation. We have fun!

 Our exploration of our money books continues to inspire, make use more knowledgeable, and influence our very own 4th grade money designs!

Hard at work... and play.
