New Science Unit Coming Up!

With the close of "Dinosaur Month," we are beginning a new unit focusing on...

drumroll please...


CONSTRUCTION!

If students are lucky, they may be seeing more  of this man. 

Students will explore the uses and purposes of small tools (hammers, nails, screws, screwdrivers, sandpaper) and large tools (dump trucks, bulldozers, backhoes). We will also explore some basic principles of space and architecture through various building exercises.

Some of the learning centers will be: 
- Building structures based on a pattern
- Using playdough and popsicle sticks to build small structures
- Hammering golf tees into styrofoam with small plastic hammers
- Exploring construction themes through library books

We can use your help! If you have styrofoam at your house that you've been dying to get rid of, we can use it. Please contact me if you do.

As always, thank you for being such wonderful and supportive parents. Let me know if you have any questions, comments, or ideas.
