On Wednesday, January 14th, the Channel 4 News Team with Beth Brotherton came knocking on room 407. Connor Bruce and his mom had sent a letter to Channel 4 telling them about some of the things going on in our fourth grade and they wanted to take a look themselves. They caught us working on our Action Plans for our Tread Lightly PBL!
Everyone had claimed a spot somewhere on the floor either inside the classroom or in the hallway. Glue, scissors, rulers, construction paper, photos of us in "action," letters from grateful recipients of our community service, brochures, sketches, journals and other documentation were waiting to be placed on our backboard poster. We were all immersed in our designs! When they heard and saw all the details of our current project they wanted to know what else we had done this year. The Buddy Bench was something they were excited to see, so they followed us out on the playground for an impromptu recess and filmed Hannah, the newest member of our class, test it out.
A special thanks to everyone in the class for your hard work on this project. And especially Connor and Mrs. Bruce for making our TV news fame possible!
Electricity Circuits in the Making
 |
| Inquisitive minds want to know what would happen if.... |
 |
| Now that we know how to make a circuit, let's test which objects will act as conductors... |
 |
| ...and which will be insulators. |
 |
| All scientists must take time to document what's happening! |
 |
| A lit-up light proves that we have a conductor! |
 |
| It works! Let's do that again! |
Max's look says it all! It sure was fun seeing Mrs. Johnson get a tiny bit of the recognition she SO deserves, and ALL of the students' action plans are AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful "NEWS" to see our teacher as a STAR on TV!!! So deserving, in so many ways! Emily has had a blast learning all about the circuits also with the hands on activities and the Tread Lightly PBL with Action Plans has been out favorite yet! We loved getting our community involved and seeing the impact that so many of our friends/classmates touched thru this PBL unit also!
