Two things:

1. Students, ahem, Superheros! I am loving your creative and interesting ideas for your Superhero City! I am extending the due date to complete your construction and sharing of your city through next Wednesday. I would like to have all cities built and your flip grid shared by Wednesday, May 6th. Also - I love the superhero names coming in, but on the planning guide I need your REAL name too, so I can give your credit for completing it!! So, I need the real names of: Captain Bro, God of Speed, Walle, and Moler - please :)

2. The nice weather has arrived. I want you to find some time to GET OUTSIDE and build a fort. I am looking for creative use of materials and am looking forward to seeing some AWESOME forts. There will be a link to share your fort with the class via Flipgrid. Head to Google Classroom to view the link.

Have a great time!

Students, good job with the quality of comments about inventors and inventions last week (Readworks assignment)!

This week we will be building a superhero city. This assignment included three parts:

1. Planning it: There will be a planning questionnaire to fill out, this time using Google forms.
2. Building it: You will use things you have at home, like cardboard, duct tape, straws, containers ready to be recycled, etc.
3. Sharing it: We will use flipgrid as a way to share your creation with our 1st and 8th period classes.

Head over to Google Classroom to see more specific steps and access videos, forms, and links.

Wow! We are on an adventure. During this time of crisis you may have what seems like unlimited time on your hands to create, play and do things that you have wanted to. Or, you may feel bored. Or, unfortunately, some of your households may be full of worry, and the house may becoming smaller and smaller everyday. Whatever your situation, please use this class as an elective should: to enrich your life, to grow your curiosity, and to take time to feel the joy of creating and sharing something original.
