Special Notes from Today:
In Math today, we learned about patterns and the Fibonacci sequence. We discussed how the Fibonacci sequence is found in nature and all around us, and then we went on a classroom hunt to find examples within our classroom. Ask your child to explain to you what the Fibonacci sequence is, and if they can show you any real life examples!

In Science, we took a look at our class' carbon footprint. Based on 17 students, we had a total carbon footprint of 920.9kg for the period of one week. This exceeds the carbon that our Discovery Garden trees absorb in a week (455kg of carbon), by 465.9kg!! This number was much higher than the class anticipated, and we discussed ways that we could reduce our carbon footprint both at home and at school. Several suggestions for school were to turn off the lights and only use natural light, as well as turning off the smart board and using an actual timer for our work period.

Discuss with your child at home different ways that you can reduce your carbon footprint!
