What a wonderfully exciting week we have had! Mrs. Eaton helped the children celebrate the completion of our first unit of study in readers workshop by reading The Lorax and started a new tradition, Tasty Tuesday. The children pretended they had truffula branches (fancy toothpicks) and speared truffula fruit (pineapple, kiwi, and mango) which was then dipped in yogurt. Mmmmm good!
We saved the best for last . . . today Charlie Wilson, our district technology teacher, brought 4 computers into the classroom and let the children take them apart and investigate the inner workings first hand. You would have thought we piled each table high with candy and said eat all you want. They were first showed various components and told what they were and how they were important to the computer. While checking out the inside they then had to find all these parts and unplug wires and replug them. Do you know where the I/O Bus, RAM memory, CPU fan, or motherboard are and why they are there? Ask your child!
SEE YOU TOMORROW AT THE FUN RUN AT 1:30. It's going to be a beautiful day.
