In Dr. Kissel’s Science Class, to finish the year, we’ve been doing a lot of fun
things! For example, we learned about earthquakes and volcanoes. We studied
plate tectonics and how the Earth’s plates move. Did you know that volcanoes
are often located between plates? We also learned about weather. We are
working on a Weather WebQuest. We are researching different topics, such as
humidity, air masses, and severe weather. We’ll create a PowerPoint or Prezi
presentation with the information. Did you know that a tropical storm is not
a hurricane until the winds reach a speed of 119 kilometers per hour? The
water cycle is something else we learned about. At Camp, kids performed rap
songs with water cycle words like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and
infiltration. Right now our Science Fair is coming up on June 9th. The kids are
performing unique experiments and we’ll share them with our parents at the
Science Fair.

Dr. Kissel’s Math Class by Ivan Legorreta
In Dr. Kissel’s Math Class we have been learning about probability and integers
as 6th grade comes to an end. We studied probability and took a test on it. If
you roll a die, each number has a 1 out of 6 chance. But if you roll 2 dice, 7 has a
greater chance of being the total because there are more combinations that add
to 7. We took 2 tests on integers. One was an introduction and the other was
about performing operations with integers. Integers are negative and positive
numbers and 0. The numbers need to be whole numbers, not fractions. If you
multiply two positive numbers or two negative numbers you get a positive
number. If you multiply a positive and a negative number the answer is a
negative number. We are also working on an Integers WebQuest. We need
to research about the history of negative numbers and reflect on how we use
integers in everyday life. We also need to play some games having to do with the
coordinate plane and rate them. It has been interesting.

Nuestras costumbres y tradiciones
El pasado mes de mayo tuvimos la oportunidad de pasar una maravillosa semana en el campamento de Pipiol ; donde los niños además de divertirse pudieron conectarse a través de talleres interactivos con lo que son algunas de las costumbres y tradiciones de este lugar.
En estos talleres tuvieron la oportunidad de elaborar pan y figuras de barro y una vez más reflejaron la creatividad , iniciativa y entusiasmo que los caracteriza. 
En la panadería pudimos saborear desde simples bolillos hasta creaciones más elaboradas como trenzas y rollos de canela.
Con el barro fueron capaces de plasmar figuras únicas y llenas de vida , donde cada una reflejaba la personalidad de de estos grande artistas.
