Thank you to Kim Mackowski and all of the parent

Atwate PTO for giving every teacher money to spend at the
fair to add books to our classroom library. See pics. 

Kane and Zoah give peer feedback after
completing a problem solving question in
math. See pics. 


Zoah and Isla play "Shuffle to 100:"
 which involves estimating, addition
and subtraction. The math crew also
played "Shuffle to 1,000." See pics. 

Charlotte shares one of the Word Master
questions with the class. 

Mr. Craig Helker, from the DNR, was an expert
for our Great Lakes expedition. He shared how
importatnt it is to collect and analzye data,
along with different instruments that he uses.
Here is Allen with a net that Mr. Helker uses to
collect aquatic samples. He also talked about
invasive species. See pics. 

For our Great Lakes expedition, the crew is answering, "How
do humans impact the Great Lakes?" Six rotations helped
them learn more about that, reviewed food chains and food
webs and built background knowledge. Xyella, Jacoby and
Zoah learn about the internal and external parts of a fish
before playing "Go Fish" with Wisconsin fish species.
See pics.


Victor, Masha, Petra and Auguste try to guess
animals using Mystery Animal slides and
earn an extra point for determing the "class"
each animal belongs in. 


Geoffrey, Cassidy and Charlotte are creating
a Great Lakes food web using information
from the Creature Cards. 



Charlotte, Cassidy, Geoffrey and Henry play
"Go Chomp" which focuses on a food chain.


Leo, Owen and Sam persevere to learn
different knots that people that work on
boats need to learn. 

Cleo and Owen compare the Great Lakes from
2012 and 2017 to determine the impact of
"stressors" on the Great Lakes. They also
learn about and sketch some of the stressors.
The crew also completed a debrief question
after each rotation.


 















Our Stewards of Responsibility challenged
the crew to a large marshmellow during the
day. They could choose to eat it early or save
it until the hot chocoalate later in the day.
It was actually warm though. Angela, Owen
and Levi enjoy their warm chocolate! See pics. 

Mr. Anderson taught us about the different
parts of the brain and how they related to
Mindfulness. He also played the ukuele.
