STEM Spider Webs

WOW! What a year we've had so far! I'm looking forward to keeping all of you up to date on what's going on in the life of 6th grade!

Last week we finished up a STEM activity in Science.  The goal was to use 2 plastic Meijer bags to create the strongest spider web possible.

They only directions they were given were they had to cut it somehow and both bags needed to be used.  Other than that, they were on their own with their imaginations! Some groups jumped right in and came up with a design immediately; other groups took a tad longer to plan.  It was interesting to watch them work together as a team, test their design, and revamp their work to make it even stronger.

The team's web that held the most Reading books held 8 books! They are already asking when they get to do another one! ***SHHHH.....don't tell them - another one is coming in a few weeks for Valentine's Day! ;-)

Enjoy the pictures!!

Memory for week of 9/5/2016

Good morning!! I will be posting memory verses for the following week on Fridays.  Memory verses will coordinate with our Religion lessons and the ESV wording.  If you have a bible that is not an ESV version, please make sure you are looking on the blog and the newsletter for the wording.

Memory verses will be every Tuesday and Friday. This week I chose to do it on Wednesday since we just are coming back from a long weekend.

Here are the two memory verses for this week:

For Wednesday: 2 Peter 2:5  if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly

For Friday: Genesis 12: 1-2 Now the Lord said to Abram, "Go now from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you.  And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.

I hope everyone had a great weekend!
