Updates for 4F
Science and HumanitiesThis week, we have been exploring what makes a fact a fact, and were able to understand that facts require evidence. Students were asked to think of places they could go to find information and discuss how true they think the information from those places could be.
Healthy HolidaysStudents also explored ways that they can stay healthy and safe over winter break. Here is a list of ideas we talked about in class:

Students are encouraged to bring a beverage for their movie and to wear comfy clothes or pajamas! Season of GivingWe are still accepting donations for season of giving. Next week's Wednesday challenge is a Festive Sweater Day. If you have a sweater with Holiday or Winter designs on it, wear it on that day to have fun and earn bonus points for our class! The poster for the Season of Giving can be seen in last week's post, but I really do encourage students to try to find ways that they can give back to their community.
