SGS update!

Hello all,

I just wanted to inform you of the "late breaking news" at SGS. Jumping right in from a long weekend, we started immediately with theme time. The teachers costumes were great and set the mood for Deep Sea Life. Relieved to be starting research on various sub categories of our theme, we all dove right in, digging deep into information about the strange and beautiful creatures that live beneath the surface as well as the myths created around them. Also, there is now an official "theme blog." We started discussing the various steps of the theme process including learning contracts, a contract stating what activities we plan to do within our theme groups and what goals we have for the rest of the term. Other various theme steps include our box of artifacts from fun, exciting and theme related activities, or pieces to remind of our process and hard work.

As well as theme we are continuing with our regular classes, including a lab with motion sensors and graphing the distance that blown up balloons can travel.
