  Week of  May 15         

There have been a number of assignments not being completed by due dates recently.  I know that spring and the change in season can be a difficult time for all of us to remember to stay focused on the everyday expectations of school or work, but please take a few minutes to talk with your child about responsibility. 

What does that look like for a student and for your child specifically?  

Who/what is impacted when they don't complete their work on time?

Rube Goldberg devices are being built this week!  Students will have a total of 5 blocks of time (so we will be finishing next week).  

You should have been collected recycled items for the last couple of weeks and tonight is the time to make use of them.  Your child should come home with their list of items they expect to need for their build.  These items (plus other supplies you might have collected) need to come to school Tuesday for us to begin building :)       

Regular school items like paperclips, string and paper can be accessed in the classroom.

Science info:  It's time for everyone to start collecting supplies for Rube Goldberg projects which we will begin planning and creating NEXT WEEK - things like shoe boxes and cereal boxes, balloons, paper towel rolls, string,  small containers like yogurt...  Please keep a bag of items at home and before we begin building they can come to the school.

 A Rube Goldberg device is one that uses a series of steps to complete a simple task like popping a balloon, ringing a bell... and it's also our final project for our Building Things unit which is coming soon.
