This week on Team Spencer was very intense. In science we reviewed what we experienced and learned when visiting the UofM 3D lab open house and presented our findings at Friday's morning meeting. We also learned how our eyes see in 3D. We read the story of Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters, inferred information about the text, and wrote magical stories about how the king in the story got his shape shifting abilities. Spencer also told her famous onion story and we broke it apart and identified how the parts fit into a classic story arc. We will soon build our own stories using the story arc format. Last week we held elections for our Team Spencer Class Government. We learned all about the 3 branches of government and how they function. Our class has a president, a supreme court and a senate. This week we voted on laws, heard a court case and made some student led changes in the classroom. Friday we also visited Steinhauser Farm to see how a fully sustainable food farm is run and how it interacts with the community as a whole. In Math, we have started measurements on our carpentry drawer project. Our next step is to see how much wood we need to buy and how the shapes fit together to make the most economical use of our wood.
