Visit to The Audubon

Today, Team Couloir students learned to orient a map and use a compass with a map to navigate an orienteering course at the Audubon Center. Thank you to our chaperones; Alison Surks, Jessica Dion, Wendy Tomlinson, Carol Sullivan and Daphne Tanis. Be sure to ask your child tonight about 'Fred in the shed'.










Design Challenge During Theme Time

During 'Theme Time ' today, students worked in small groups on two different 'Design Tech' challenges. 1) paper tower challenge, 2) the slowest marble. Please be sure to ask your child about both of these great activities.











Mystery Skype

Today Team Couloir took part in a mystery Skype. This is where we ask Yes/no questions to an unknown, 'mystery', classroom in an effort to determine where they are from and vice versa. Some questions our class asked: 'are you East of the Prime Meridian?', 'do you have Cacti for plants?' 'Do you live near the Atlantic Ocean?', 'are you land locked?'. The class we worked with was from Mississippi.
