Egg Drop, Bubble Wands, and Weather Instuments

We are approaching the end of the year and still have much to do. Your children may have come home excited to tell you about our egg drop project. Just in case you are wondering, this is what your child will need to do: create a homemade structure that will hold a raw egg intact while being thrown off of Proctor's roof. This contraption cannot be bigger than a shoebox and must be made from recycled materials. You should not buy any materials. This project will be completed at home and children should come to school on June 13th with a finished product and raw egg.

The children will also be building bubble wands. There will be a handout coming home at the end of this week. Please check your child's backpack for information. This should also be made completely from recycled materials and you will not need to purchase any materials.

We have been working very hard constructing  weather instruments in class. Ask your child about the different types of instruments we have made.  We will be taking some data using the instruments later this week.

Check back often to see pictures of your children hard at work.
