Our STEAM challenge this week is a wrap up of our study of insects. We read Effie, a story about an ant who has trouble making friends due to her REALLY loud voice. At the end, Effie saves the day and makes some friends too.
Our challenge was to make a model of a playground for Effie and her new friends. Using only a certain amount of materials and having a criteria for height and width, the engineers went to work. They brought home their models today. These are pretty fragile. We discussed how they may break, but that we have the ability to fix and make changes to them at home. Great job on our first week of homework families. This week we will have math homework on Tuesday (that will be consistent), and your child will bring home their first "Reading Celebration" book on Wednesday. Details of what to do will come home on Wednesday. Families, you have terrific children who are becoming independent learners and curious thinkers! Comments are closed.
