Although there are many special activities at the end of the year, we are still working on the curriculum. Today we explored magnets as part of our unit on force and motion. In pairs we moved pieces of metal through light cardboard and then noticed that sometimes magnets attract, and sometimes magnets repel each other. Some of us even figured out how to tell when to expect the magnets to pull toward each other and when to expect them to push apart.
You can continue to build on this learning throughout the summer by noticing pushing and pulling forces in activities around you. You could even observe any magnets you may have on hand.
Some families plan to leave before school actually finishes on Tuesday at 2:50. If your child will not be at school on Tuesday afternoon, please let me know so I can send home their things. Report cards will not be handed out until Tuesday. If you will not be here then. Please make arrangements to have your child's report picked up at the office.
