As our k/1 buddy classroom continue their study on The School, we are helping them by conducting interviews with teachers and staff members. Students created questions, made appointments and conducted interviews with their buddies. The questions varied from simple (How are you today?) to difficult (“If you could change your life in any way how would you change it and why?”).
Along these lines, fourth grade math students created their survey questions (ie: How many siblings do you have?) for their graphing project. They made appointments and are in the process of polling peers--each of these tasks builds responsibility and confidence. After polling, students will draw a line plot, calculate the median and create ‘notices and wonders’ based on their data.

| Integrating math and art: Measuring and cutting for the Dîa De Los Muertos altar project |
Students continue their work on The Strawberry Creek altar for Dia de los Muertos. The class created a theme which honors the planet and people who have helped the environment. It’s a three tiered circular structure complete with photographs of people being honored and elements of traditional Mexican imagery. We finished it today and are excited to go to set it up at the museum on Thursday.
