It looks like a storm is coming in, so it's a good thing I changed the lens two months ago. There's a good chance it'll be going on into the night, so I'll probably be up here for a while. It's harder to keep everything working because I cut my hand pretty badly a couple days ago fixing the gears. Anyways, I just finished making dinner for me and my daughter, Emily, and now she's drawing in her bedroom. She is eight years old.

5th graders in ELA are finishing their book groups.  Their books aligned with their study of the American Civil War.  

4th graders built tidal turbines as they learned about renewable energy.

5th graders created their own Sirpenski's Triangle.  This geometric fractal is an example of how patterns repeat on different scales.  


 
5th Grade math students also defended their point of view on which part of the fraction has more power, the numerator or the denominator.
