Bring in your not fully used notebooks from last year! You may choose to bring in your "LAb Books" from last year ( colorful interactive construction paper books we started last year) to add to this year - OR you can choose to start a new one... 

1. Text/workbooks will be kept & used at school! 

2. Homework will include "Discovery Tasks" that relate subject matter to real life
** For example: We will be learning about Forces - students will be asked to hunt & record common forces that they have overlooked in everyday tasks. This will reinforce ideas, concepts & help to link simple technology to new ideas. 
 They will recieve more advanced tasks, or spirals to start grooming for the NYS Test in 5Th Grade. 

3. End of topic assessments will be taken in class. Assessments are used as a marker to re-address any  information that may be confused before we move on. 

4. The STEAM Lab functions  on the resolving of problems through discovery & group participation brainstorming - students will be graded on participation!
