The Marshmallow Challenge

Friday we worked on a STEM project that helps develop the 4C's: Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, and Critical Thinking. It was The Marshmellow Challenge. Students were given 4 items: spaghetti, string, tape, and a marshmellow. The challenge was to build the tallest freestanding tower in 18 minutes and the marshmellow had to be on the top of the tower! It was fun to see all the different ideas! Ask your child how they felt about this challenge.

Our first day~ A "solar" eclipse of the heart!

I had so much fun today getting to know everyone. It is going to be a terrific year! Here are some photos from our day. We took time to find some just right books and build our stamina in reading by finding a just right spot to read. We also learned about the solar eclipse by noticing sounds, sights, and temperature throughout the day. Then we were able to view the solar eclipse with the safety glasses provided to us.

I am especially aware of students who might need to move while working. These students can enjoy doing their work seated on a movable chair or yoga balls. All together we have about 40 different seating options available for our 20 students. Whether your child prefers to sit in a traditional seat or explore...
