Welcome back GBS friends and families! It's a new school year and with that comes an exciting process, creating our class name! This year's theme is "things that float." The students started out by brainstorming a list of things that can float on the water and in the sky. Then, in science, Braque tested different objects with the students to see which ones sank and which ones floated. They then created a list together of the different characteristics that we share as a class. This included being athletic, brave, strong, and smart. After this, each student selected a choice from our list and used our classroom laptops (so exciting!) to research their idea and support their choice by giving reasons as to why it would be a fitting class name. Each student created a PowerPoint slide showcasing their research. Later, the students presented their PowerPoints and discussed which name would be best. Finally, it was voting time! And the winner is... THE CLOUDS! The class is excited to be the clouds, because clouds are strong and are different from one another- just like us!
