We're off and running this week! Some genius hour groups have been inquiring into the language of coding. We have been exploring algorithms used for data input (driving force) to allow for for creation or movement of an object. Today, students were able to log-in and practice some coding on their iPads to make the Angry Bird get the Pig.
We enjoyed inquiring into the movements as a result of force by exploring friction. Students utilized a spring scale, brick, and string to test various surfaces to determine the amount of force needed to move the brick. They utilized the equation Work = Force x Distance to determine the amount of work being done with each test. Ask your child about the surfaces they tested, which required the most force/work and why!
Friction 1
Friction 2
Communication folders came home today. In them, you will find your child's report card for Terms 3 and 4, and their math pre-assessment checklist for term 5. We use this checklist to get a better idea of what students already know before beginning our new standards for the term.
Don't for get that the window for our parent survey opens TODAY! Please take a few minutes to complete this survey. It gives valuable information to our school. Thank you so much!!!
Georgia Parent Survey
We would like to invite you to participate in F.AVE's parent survey. This survey consists of 24 questions and parents may complete the survey using their personal computer, smartphones or tablet. If you do not have access to the internet, you can complete the Georgia Parent Survey at F.AVE. All parents are encouraged to participate in the Georgia Parent Survey because the data will be used as part of the calculation of the School Climate Star Rating. Survey responses are anonymous and will be submitted directly to the Georgia Department of Education for analysis. The URL address for the Georgia Parent Survey is posted below.
