On Thursday, we worked in the MakerSpace with Straws and Connectors. The students worked in groups to build a bridge. The challenge was to see if their bridge could withstand a road (a thick piece of paper) as well as a car.
We had a great Cornerstone lesson today with Nina (Katie's mom) and Nisha (Aarti's mom). They read the story, Stand Tall Molly Lou. A letter came home today with more information.
For sharing this week, students may write down one way they show respect at home. No need to write any clues. :)
We visit the library on Thursdays from 1:00-1:30. Students can check out one book each week. If your child forgets their book the following week, they cannot check out a new book.
If you have any questions or concerns about the homework or if your child is spending more than 10 minutes a day on the packet, please let me know. The packet will be due next Friday, 9/27.
Have a wonderful weekend.
