I hope you had a wonderful weekend. This morning we welcomed a new student to our classroom. His name is Graycen Van Solkema and he is coming from the Sharon Elementary School. He enjoys Legos and the Red Sox and will fir right in with many of the students who enjoy these things too.
This morning's science class had the students creating structures with 20 toothpicks and 12 gum drops. They were asked to use their newly learned concepts of engineering to create a structure that can bear weight. Tomorrow we will test the strength of their structures. As a reminder form last week's post, I can use any newspapers that you might have at home.
Notes:
*Our artist in residency starts next week. Our scheduled times are Wednesday 4/6 at 10:30, Wednesday 4/13 at 12:30, Thursday 4/14 at 9:10 and Friday 4/15 at 10:30.
*Our Flynn Trip is next Thursday, April 14th. Kids will need a cold lunch that day. On Monday, April 11th, I will send home a form for kids to order a bagged lunch from school (if they desire).
Have a great week.
Tommy
