Pi Day Exploration

Yesterday, on 3.14, Team Couloir celebrated Pi Day with songs, videos and a circle hunt to discover that ratio of circumference:diameter. Be sure to ask your child about patterns they observed.

Museum of Science Starlab

Today, Team Couloir, Team Momentum and Team Endurance had the privilege of experiencing the Starlab-a travelling program from the Museum of Science in Boston. The event was a perfect culmination to our study of the Solar System. Pictures could not do it justice. Be sure to ask your child about their experience.

Mathemagicians and Folino's-Math Field Trip

Today, Team Couloir students saw Danny Carmo, the Mathemagician at the Flynn and followed with a math field trip to Folino's in Burlington.

The proceeds from our visit to Folino's go to 52 Kids Foundation which thrives to empower orphaned and at risk youth in Uganda.

 Students did the math to figure out how many pizzas we needed and learned from the business owner about other aspects involved in running a restaurant.

Book Making with Special Guest Ann Joppe Mercure

Today Ann Joppe Mercure brought the art of bookmaking to Team Couloir. Each student made a circular book on the phases of the moon.

And then a reward for their hard work ! Extra recess.

Exploring The Phases of the Moon and more

This past week, we launched into our Solar System Unit by exploring the phases of the moon. Students have been journalling and using models to develop their understanding of the phases of the moon.

Friday during Theme Team time we enjoyed some board games together.

Colonial Games we played on Friday!
