Team Updates: Sept 14 – 18, 2009
Team 1 - We’ve been talking about fingerprints this week. They are all unique and individual like we are. We made people and animals out of our fingerprints.
Team 2 - The 4th graders from Team 2 attended the annual “Ohio Heritage School Day” at Hedges Boyer Park in Tiffin on Friday, September 18th. It was an exciting experience which helps the students understand the history of Seneca County and the state of Ohio with hands-on living history experiences. It supports and extends the fourth grade Ohio Social Studies Curriculum.
Team 3 – We started the year off working on a project involving paper airplanes and the scientific method. The kids had a lot of fun experimenting with different types and styles of airplanes to see which one would fly the farthest. Ryon, a newcomer to the team, had a plane that flew almost the entire width of the gymnasium. Nice work, Ryon! We have also begun working on our financial literacy program. Students completed their job applications late last week, and they are all anxious to go through the interviews this week. They are all asking about when they will get to start their jobs. We all hope they stay this excited about this project all year.
Team 4 – Mrs. Angles and the biology/ chemistry students will start working in the laboratory at Heidelberg University this week. Dr. Bob Murray will be volunteering his expertise as a retired professor, and instructing the students with Mrs. Angles. This opportunity is outstanding for BCA freshman and sophomores as they will attain experience preparing them for college level labs. This certainly encourages these students to attain their full potential and to get experience which will help direct their future.
Many students are preparing to take PSAT on October 14th. This opportunity prepares them for available opportunities as they look into their choice of colleges.
Team 5 -Stay tuned as the big excitement in Team 5 right now is preparing the Red Ribbon Week activities.
The date of Red Ribbon week and activities will be shared with administration for approval. As decisions are made information will be on the daily announcements, so all can prepare for this exciting week.
