Eyes, Function Machines & More

Hello, 5B families!

Our class has begun an interdisciplinary unit in Science/Art/Religion/L.A. on the five senses, beginning with the sense of sight.

“Open the Eyes of My Heart”
5B students singing this inspiring worship song
written by Michael W. Smith
“Open my eyes to see clearly the wonders of your law.”
‭‭- Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭18‬

“Look not to what is seen but to what is unseen; for what is seen is transitory, but what is unseen is eternal.”
‭‭- 2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬

“The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.”
‭‭- Proverbs‬ ‭15‬:‭3‬

In Math class we have been learning about input/output tables and getting creative designing function machines.

This student combined our Science class learning to make a “digestive system”-themed function machine!
Our innovative students have initiated an inquiry into aerodynamics and principles that optimize flight machine design. In other words, we have paper airplanes everywhere in class—but it’s fun to work with the next generation of great inventors! Over the next few weeks we will do some flight time tests to assess the merits of different design features and graph the results.
Here are the new Spelling words for next week. What creative sentences of your own can you create to show the meanings of these words?
