Sunrise Class Week 1 -Art and Science

-

Hello Parents, 

Welcome to an invigorating and fun week of summer school.Our theme for this week was Art and Science. Our week was filled with a wide range of learning experiences for all students.


Students started the week by looking at the  different parts of plants and their functions. They then cut out the different parts of a flower and put them on a sheet to make the full plant.





Students worked in pairs to  make a life-sized body map to learn about human anatomy. They learned about the anatomy and the five basic senses.



                     




Students  investigated  the world of animals by reading various picture books. They explored four facets of animals, such as basic facts, animal babies, interaction with others, and habitats. They worked together to research an animal of their choice then presented the information to their peers. They also made various animal masks to enhance the presentations. 





Students explored the tallest buildings in the world and how they were designed and constructed. They then worked in groups to develop the tallest tower they can build using materials in the classroom.




They developed a design on paper, built their tower, presented and tested their tower to the class. 








Students explored problem solving and design using creativity and scientific skills. These challenges will help them  to develop skills and self-confidence they  need not only in a classroom setting, but in the real world as well.








Students created their own visual artwork while listening to various genres of music. 




  














Have a good weekend,
Sunrise Class!

Dear Sunrise Parents, We had another great week of summer school. We played a lot of games and made a lot of new friends! In math, we  arranged animals from smallest to largest. We also  counted and clipped clothespins on animal number cards. We then used the clothespins to make various animals to determine how many  were used for each of them. Based on the math video of the week, we learned that the longest snake known was Medusa so we were all excited to use clothespins to make a snake that was 25 feet, 2 inches long. Later on in the week, we looked at non-standard unit of measurement and used lego bricks to measure the height of various animals. Yuito used six clothespins to make a giraffe.  Kaito showed great confidence as he counted and matched the correct number.    Tomoki showed good hand strength as he pinched the  clothespin on the animal card.  Tomoki's attempt at making Medusa, the longest snake in the wo...

  Welcome to Game World!!! Our last week of summer school was full of adventure by delving into a world of strategy, creativity, and imagination.  Students played a variety of games, some involving some problem solving and others that were physical and required stealth.  We learned about different styles of games by playing both familiar and unfamiliar games and analyzing pros and cons of each.   At the beginning of our week students worked together to create rules and challenges based on blank board game templates.  Everyone did a great job and changed an empty game board into something fun for all ages.  After trying out a variety of new things, students divided into groups to design their own game entirely from their imagination.  Here are some of their amazing creations: Frog Life : Students worked with a program called Scratch to create a video game online.  They learned how to make and alter coding in order to design a frog jumping game...
