JFK Fourth Graders had another awesome week! On Monday, we had our Community Meeting, and learned that our mantra was "Be an Engineer!". We had a visit from our new Engineers in Residence, Mr. Andrew Leenhouts and Mr. Peter Gill. Both of our engineers are graduates of Franklin High School, and Peter even had Mrs. A. Williams at JFK! Our engineers shared a lot about their jobs as civil engineers, and then talked with the students about the design process.
After we learned about the design process, we went to our individual classes to brainstorm some designs for our "Puff Mobiles". We worked on these throughout the week, and had a dedicated time to create our vehicles with Mrs. E. Williams during Creative Arts Friday. Ask your child to share more about this!
During Poetry Workshop this week, we were able to publish our Biopoems, and during Technology Workshop we continued our work with organizing our files and beginning to create our digital portfolios. It was a great week!
