Now that you have had some time to think about your hurricane project I want to know what you picked!! The more I know about your choice the more I will be able to help you next week! :)
Please post a comment explaining which project you picked!! I have included the choices again here:

1. Hurricane News Cast 
          You are a meteorologist on TV!
          You must report to us the latest and most current information about and on hurricanes! You must include a script if you chose to make a video!

2. Severe Weather Press Release
          You are the mayor/police chief/disaster relief correspondent!
          Describe the hurricane!!  Tell me about what to expect! What should we do!? Evacuate? Batten down the hatches!!??

3. Hurricane Story 
          You can be a hurricane hunter or yourself living through the worst hurricane!
          Write a realistic fiction story about being in a hurricane and all about the horrible hurricane!!

4. Front Page of a newspaper!
          Front page news! You are designing the front page of a newspaper describing all about the hurricane. Pictures, articles, advertisements!

Have you heard that in a matter of days, the sky will actually be falling! A NASA satellite, the size of a small bus, is currently falling from its orbit and will land somewhere on Earth! Check out this link below to track the satellite!! Just remember as this article says:
"If you do come across what you suspect is a satellite piece, NASA doesn't want you to pick it up. The space agency says there are no toxic chemicals present, but there could be sharp edges. Also, it's government property. It's against the law to keep it as a souvenir or sell it on eBay. NASA's advice is to report it to the police."

What do you think this means for you as scientists?! How can our LEGO robotics unit, and all you are learning about robotics help in solving problem like this one?!!

Happy Fall Sunday! It really doesn't feel like summer any more! We have a busy week this week! Between launching our LEGO robotics unit and really getting into our math facts check back here often for lots of updates! This week we will be continuing with our hurricane unit and continuing our review of 5th grade math concepts! Check back on the math page for some fun games to help review!!
Enjoy your Sunday! Let's go Giants :)
