In Science we were working on our scientist and engineering skills. The students worked to Save Sam. They had to solve a problem that consisted of Sam(the gummy worm) being on an overturned boat (cup), with his life vest (gummy lifesaver) underneath the boat, and he couldn’t swim. They were not allowed to touch Sam with their hands but they were given 4 paperclips to use to get the life vest on Sam.

We were also lucky to have Commander Worf and Officer Grouse stop by from the Dearborn Police K-9 unit.

The weather has made it very hot in our classroom. So we took our writing out under the shade of the trees. We have been reading traditional folktales. Students worked with a partner to create a plan for a Tall Tale like Paul Bunyan or Johnny Appleseed.
