Learning Lab News Vol 14, November 21st, 2013


Mr. J’s Learning Lab News Vol. 14- November 21, 2013

HAVE YOU SEEN OUR NEW AND REVISED WEBSITE?  See pictures, lesson plans, STEAM Notebook examples & more!  The website’s theme will change to “FROZEN” on December 2nd.  Check it out @ www.MSASLearningLabs.com

JOIN US TONIGHT (NOVEMBER 21st) “Family Movie Night” at Oakmont 8 for the Opening Night celebration for the HUNGER GAMES!  They are showing a double feature (Both the first movie and new one) starting at 5:15 and premiering the second movie “Catching Fire” at 8:00.  Come see both and get a collectible lanyard, or just join us for the new premiere.  It should be a great time if you loved the books or the movie series (Be advised the films are rated PG-13 and it is up to you, the parent, to make viewing decisions for your family).

JOIN US TOMORROW (NOVEMBER 22nd) for our third Masterpiece Showcase at 12:15 p.m. on the Gecko Stage!  This month’s Moby Max winners will be announced and each class will preform.

This week, we finished our theme of GAMES including “Ender’s Game” and “The Hunger Games.”  We practiced our songs “Warrior (From ‘Ender’s Game’)” by DJ SoundHunter and “TEAM” by Lorde on Stage to get ready for Friday’s Masterpiece Showcase, and all students finished making their STEAM Game Notebooks as well (Some students have yet to bring in a Composition notebook, and unfortunately never got to make an awesome book like the students who had their books turned in on time.)

 In lieu of our Fall (Thanksgiving) break next week you will not have a STEAM Report to write this week.  Your next STEAM Report will not be given out until December 5th and will be due December 10th.  Therefore, you only needed two STEAM reports in November: Week Eleven (the Purple paper) and Week Twelve (the Yellow paper).
