Hello Cannon Parents!

It’s hard to believe that our school year will be ending soon!  It has been a terrific year of learning at Cannon and we want to make sure our students have the opportunity to continue to engage in great learning experiences throughout the summer.

We have designed a Summer Learning Calendar for our K-4 Cannon students that will provide them with information about how to participate in fun summer reading challenges, math practice, engineering and design challenges, and even brain-based physical fitness activities!  This calendar will also include FUN events that are going on right here in the Grapevine community throughout the summer that your family can participate in for FREE!! 

Although it will be possible for all K-4 Cannon students to participate in our fun Summer Learning Calendaractivities, we are encouraging our students to complete the activities in a “digital way” if possible.  As a result, we would like to allow all Cannon students that are planning to return to Cannon next year to keep their school-issued device throughout the summer.

We are exploring a new STEM project this week.  We are working on a Hands-On Standards STEM in Action lesson called Muddy Mats.  In this project a boy named Liam wants to engineer a mat so his wet dog can come in the house and not make a mess on the carpet.  Today we read the story and discussed the problem and some solutions they use at their homes for this problem. We discussed how this type of engineering is material engineering. We reviewed how we have already done a materials engineering unit and discussed our schema on what helped us solve that project.  Then we started our first lesson to build our knowledge on how waters properties will be important in this build.  

Working with our 5th grade buddies to finish our greenhouse challenge.

Today in social studies we looked at specialized jobs in a factory.  We had a class challenge to to see if specialized jobs make a factory faster at producing goods.  We had one student work as an individual and the rest worked using specialized jobs.  We were producing flowers.  We found that specialized jobs did make a difference. The factory made 15 and the individual only made 3.
