The Water Project Continuing

Hello Families,

This week we are entering into the third phase of our Water Project.  Students have chosen their country of study and will be researching the country's water, health, and sanitation problems.  They will be investigating the root cause of the problems, and then making recommendations for solutions.

Also, our fraction study continues.  We have learned how to compare, add, subtract, and covert mixed numbers and improper fractions.  We will be beginning our Fraction Mini-Project soon, so I will keep you all posted.

This week will continue to make progress in the backyard.  The Cafe group has begun priming the school store.  We have the sail shade hung, and the group is beginning to plan seating for underneath.  Our garden bed is nicely laid out, and we have some soil ready to plant vegetables.  We are having so much fun, and incredible learning is taking place.
