The students have currently learned about different types of bridges. 

The students learned about the horizon line in a picture and using that information made a silhouette of a bridge.

Our class is currently working on their culminating related to our stability unit. The students are designing a structure that will support a lego person sliding into a pool. Here are a couple of samples of the students structures. We will hope to test the structures the week of December 3rd and 10th using a fair test. This will provide uniformity among all groups.

In our room we are working on dealing with conflicts that arise in the classroom and outside in positive ways using the strategies seen below. The students were taught the different types of conflict. Students are to choose which conflict that is occurring with the help of a staff member and use the STOPHACC strategies provided.

Homework is usually given each night. It involves finishing work from the day or practising skills taught.
